2. 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 hymn of grateful praise.

3. For the joy of ear and eye,
For the heart and minds delight,
For the mystic harmony
Linking sense to sound and sight;
Christ, our God, to Thee we raise
This our sacrifice of praise.

4. For the joy of human love,
Brother, sister, parent, child,
Friends on earth and friends above,
For all gentle thoughts and mild;
Christ our God, to Thee we raise
This our sacrifice of praise.

5. For Thy church that evermore
Lifteth holy hands above,
Offering upon evry shore,
Her pure sacrifice of love;
Christ, our God, to Thee we raise
This our sacrifice of praise.

6. For the joy of Gift Divine,
To the world so freely given,
For the great, great love of Thine,
Peace on earth and joy in heaven:
Christ our God, to Thee we raise
This our sacrifice of praise.

Holy, Holy, Holy

2. Holy, holy, holy!
All the saints adore Thee,
Casting down their golden crowns
Around the glassy sea.
Cherubim and seraphim
Falling down before Thee,
Which wert, and art,
And evermore shall be.

3. Holy, holy, holy!
Through the darkness hide Thee,
Though the eye of sinful man
Thy glory may not see.
Only Thou art holy;
There is none beside Thee,
