Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name.
Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

FOR THE BEAUT Y
OF THE EARTH

Musical Setting
by Dr. William Phemister

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 you 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 yourself, best gift divine,
to the world so freely given,
agent of God’s grand design:

peace on earth and joy in heaven. [Refrain]

THE SONG OF
THE FORGET-M E-NOT FA IRY

So small, so blue, in grassy places
My flowers raise
Their tiny faces.

By streams my bigger sisters grow,
And smile in gardens,
In a row.

I’ve never seen a garden plot;
But though I’m small,

forget me not
