☦️ Married in the Orthodox Church. Permitted for a dear co-worker of husband to sing this acapella in the ceremony.
The Presbyterian Hymnal 473.~'For the Beauty of the Earth'
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:
Lord of all, to Thee we raise,
This our hymn of grateful praise.
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. (Refrain)
3 For the joy of ear and eye,
For the heart and mind’s delight,
For the mystic harmony
Linking sense to sound and sight. (Refrain)
4 For the joy of human love,
Brother, sister, parent, child,
Friends on earth and friends above,
For all gentle thoughts and mild. (Refrain)
5 For Thy Church, that evermore
Lifteth holy hands above,
Offering up on every shore
Her pure sacrifice of love. (Refrain)
**Truth be told. Said vocalist was another lifeguard who kept watch at my parent's beach club where I met my husband. I have this on tape.**
