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
