for the beauty of the earth - a new liturgy lyrics
[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
[chorus]
lord of all, to thee we raise
this our hymn of grateful praise
lord of all, to thee we raise
this our hymn of grateful praise
[post*chorus]
the earth is filled with your glory
the earth is filled with your glory
[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 light
[chorus]
lord of all, to thee we raise
this our hymn of grateful praise
lord of all, to thee we raise
this our hymn of grateful praise
[post*chorus]
the earth is filled with your glory
the earth is filled with your glory
[break]
all the beauty of the world
the beauty that calls our admiration
our gratitude, our worthship at the earthly level
is meant as a set of hints, of conspiratorial whispers
of clues and suggestions and fl!ckers of light
all nudging us into believing that behind the beautiful world
is not random chance but the loving god
[bridge]
holy, holy
the earth is filled with your glory
the earth is filled with your glory
[verse 3]
for each perfect gift of thine
to our world so freely given
graces human and divine
flowers of earth and buds of heaven
[chorus]
lord of all, to thee we raise
this our hymn of grateful praise
lord of all, to thee we raise
this our hymn of grateful praise
[post*chorus]
the earth is filled with your glory
the earth is filled with your glory
the earth is filled with your glory
the earth is filled with your glory
[break]
“if we are created in the image and likeness of god, then whatever good, true, or beautiful things we can say about humanity or creation we can say of god exponentially. god is the beauty of creation and humanity multiplied to the infinite power.” (fr richard rohr)
[outro]
the earth is filled with your glory
the earth is filled with your glory
the earth is filled with your glory
