這...... 包括:美好的受造世界、每一天每一夜的每一時刻、我們一生蒙受父母家庭朋友的各種眷愛、天父上帝的恩情等等,都值得將這充滿喜樂的讚美獻上。這一個時候,再聽這首詩歌有更深的體會。
For The Beauty Of The EarthFor the beauty of the earth
For the beauty of the skyes
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies
Over and around us lies
Lord of all to thee we raise
This our joyful hymn of praise
For the beauty of the hour
Of the day and of the night
Hill and vale And tree and flower
Sun and moon and stars of light
Sun and moon and stars of light
Lord of all to thee we raise
This our joyful hymn of praise
For the joy of human love
Brother, sister, parent, child
Friends on earth And friends above
For a gentle Thoughts and mild
Lord of all to thee we raise
This our joyful hymn of praise
For each perfect gift of thine
To our race so freely given
Graces human and divine
Flow'rs of earth and buds of heav'n
Flow'rs of earth and buds of heav'n
Lord of all to thee we raise
This our joyful hymn of praise
This our joyful hymn of praise
