paroles de chanson For The Beauty Of The Earth - John Rutter , City of London Sinfonia , The Cambridge Singers

Gracious God, to Thee we raise
This our sacrifice of praise

For the beauty of the earth
For the beauty of the skies
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies

Gracious God, to Thee we raise
This our sacrifice of praise

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

Gracious God, to Thee we raise
This our sacrifice of praise

For the joy of ear and eye
For the heart and mind's delight
For the mystic harmony
Linking sense to sound and sight

Gracious God, to Thee we raise
This our sacrifice of praise

For the joy of human love
Brother, sister, parent, child
Friends on earth and friends above
For all gentle thoughts and mild

Gracious God, to Thee we raise
This our sacrifice of praise

For each perfect gift of Thine
To our race so freely given
Graces human and divine
Flowers of earth and buds of heaven

Gracious God, to Thee we raise
This our sacrifice of praise
