1. For the beauty  of the   earth,
2. For the joy of  human    love,
3. For the gift of Thy dear Son,
G        Em      A7        D
For the  glory   of the    skies,
Brother, sister, parent,   child,
For the  hope of heaven at last,
                     G        Bm
For the love which   from our birth
Friends on earth and Friend  above,
For the Spirit’s     victory  won,
Em                 A        D
Over and          around us lies,
Pleasures pure and unde - - filed,
For the crown when life is  past,
                Em      F#m
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
G        Em/B     A7       D
This our grateful song of  praise.
This our grateful song of  praise.
Songs of grati- - tude and praise.
