[Verse 1]
For the beauty of the Earth
For the glory of the skies
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies
[Refrain]
Christ our Lord, to Thee we raise
This our sacrifice of praise
[Verse 2]
For the wonder of each hour
Of the day and of the night
Hill and vale and tree and flower
Sun and Moon and stars of night
[Refrain]
Christ our Lord, to Thee we raise
This our sacrifice of praise
[Verse 3]
For the joy of human love
Brother, sister, parent and child
Friends on Earth and friends above
For all gentle thoughts and mild
[Refrain]
Christ our Lord, to Thee we raise
This our sacrifice of praise
[Verse 4]
For yourself, best gift divine
To the world so freely given
Agent of God's grand design
Peace on Earth and joy in Heaven
[Refrain]
Christ our Lord, to Thee we raise
This our sacrifice of praise
[Outro]
Ooh, Christ our Lord, to Thee we raise
This our sacrifice of praise
