Subversive Undercroft #238: For the Beauty of the Earth

Teen fandom, the “proper” way to sing a hymn, plus we look at #416 from Hymnal ’82; For the Beauty of the Earth. 

 

For the Beauty of the Earth (with Jon’s animal blessing 3rd verse)

 For the beauty of the earth,
for the glory of the skies,
for the love which from our birth
over and around us lies.
Lord of All, to thee we raise
this, our song of grateful praise.

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 light,
Lord of All, to thee we raise
this, our song of grateful praise.

For the joy of furry love,
Scaly, feathered, lizards too,
friends on earth, and friends above,
the love we share comes from You,
Lord of All, to thee we raise
this, our song of grateful praise
