I have blogged the version in As One Voice, but CWB II sets the text to LUCERNA LAUDONIAE by David Evans and have chosen a different variant of the text, hence reposting.
For the beauty of the earth,
For the beauty of the skies;
For the love which from our birth,
Over and around us lies;
Lord of all, to you we raise
This our sacrifice of praise.
For the beauty of each hour,
Of the day and of the night;
Hill and vale and tree and flow’r,
Sun and moon, and stars of light;
Lord of all, to you we raise
This our sacrifice of praise.
For the joy of ear and eye, For the heart and brain's delight, For the mystic harmony, Linking sense to song and sight, Lord of all, to you we raise This our sacrifice of praise.
For the joy of human love,
Brother, sister, parent, child;
Friends on Earth and friends above,
For all gentle thoughts and mild;
Lord of all, to you we raise
This our sacrifice of praise.
For Your church that evermore,
Lifts its holy hands above;
Off’ring up on ev’ry shore,
A pure sacrifice of love;
Lord of all, to you we raise
its pure sacrifice of praise.
For yourself, O Gift Divine,
To our world so freely giv’n,
Word incarnate, God's design,
Peace on earth and joy in heav’n.
Lord of all, to you we raise
This our sacrifice of praise.
