Rutter: For The Beauty Of The Earth - The Cambridge Singers, City Of London Sinfonia, John Rutter

For the beauty of the earth

For the beauty of the skies

For the love which from our birth

Over and around us lies

Over and around us lies

Lord of all, to thee we raise

This our joyful hymn of praise

For the beauty of the hour

Of the day and of the night

Hill and vale and tree and flower

Sun and moon and stars of light

Sun and moon and stars of light

Lord of all, to thee we raise

This our joyful hymn of praise

For the joy of human love

Brother, sister, parent, child

Friends on earth and friends above

For all gentle thoughts and mild

For all gentle thoughts and mild

Lord of all, to thee we raise

This our joyful hymn of praise

For each perfect gift of thine

To our race so freely given

Graces human and divine

Flow’rs of earth and buds of heav’n

Flow’rs of earth and buds of heav’n

Lord of all, to thee we raise

This our joyful hymn, our joyful hymn of praise

This our joyful hymn of praise
