For the beauty of the earth by Konrad Kocher — Lyrics
For the beauty of the earth,
for the glory of the skies,
for the love which from our birth
over and around us lies;
Lord of all, to thee we raise
this our hymn of grateful praise.

About For the beauty of the earth
Sung at harvest festivals or times of thanksgiving, this much-loved hymn text celebrates the wonders of God's creation. The composer, Konrad Kocher, sets the familiar words in a rich, homophonic SATB arrangement that allows the message of grateful praise to shine through. The flowing melodic lines and supportive harmonies make it accessible for choirs seeking a deeply resonant anthem of adoration. The text moves from the grand sweep of the heavens to the intimate details of nature, finding beauty in every aspect of the world and offering it all back to the Creator in song.
