For The Beauty of The Earth
"For the beauty of the earth,
For the beauty of the skies;
For the love which from our birth, Over and around us lies;
Christ our God, to Thee we raise, This our hymn of grateful praise.
For Thy church that evermore, Lifteth holy hands above;
Off'ring up on ev'ry shore, Its pure sacrifice of love;
Christ our God, to Thee we raise, This our hymn of grateful praise."
Praying that you will revel in the beauty of the earth provided by our gracious and loving God!

Linda,
I am always in awe of the wonderful beauty that God provided for us. Every time I look outdoors I can not imagine how anyone could ever believe that there is not a God.
Hugs,
Jann

thanks for the inspiration this morning. This song has always been a favorite.
How it is that everyone does not see the Creator's Hands in the world around them? To those of us "with eyes to see" it is only He who is the "Author of life" who could accomplish this.
AMAZING!!!!!
Cheers from Cottage Country!
