Thankful Sunday

Ward and I took a walk today, and this hymn is what I was thinking as we were enjoying the beauty of autumn.

For the Beauty of the Earth

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 thee we raise 

this our joyful hymn of praise.

For the beauty of each hour

of the day and of the night.

Hill and vale and tree and flower,

Sun and moon and stars of light:

Lord of all to thee we raise

This our joyful hymn of praise.

Words: Fol­li­ot S. Pier­point, in Lyra Eu­cha­rist­ica, by Or­by Ship­ley, se­cond edi­tion, 1864.

Music: Dix, Con­rad Koch­er, 1838
