For the beauty of the earth,
For the glory of the skies,
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies—
For the wonder 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 Thee we raise,
This our hymn of grateful praise.*
I am thankful for the colors of autumn.
*From the hymn, "For the Beauty of the Earth" by Folliott S. Pierpiont
What a perfectly perfect post for this October Sunday!
ReplyDeleteWe are lucky this time of year to see both the fall leaf color and lingering summer and fall flowers. A beautiful time.
DeleteOne of my favorite hymns, and the pictures with it are absolutely gorgeous! Fall is really showing out this year!
ReplyDeleteIt is one of my favorite hymns, too.
DeleteSome gorgeous photos of the fall colors!!!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely beautiful colors, but not quite as bright as they are some years because of the drought over the summer. They are falling off faster too for the same reason.
DeleteLovely fall colors!
ReplyDeleteIt's a magical time of the year when the leaves are changing.
DeleteYou perfectly captured my sense of thankfulness for the beauty of autumn.
