GOD-centric Interior Spiritual Disciplines:
To live in a good and fair God of love
For the Beauty of the Earth
~ Folliott Sandford Pierpoint
For the beauty of the earth,
For the splendor of the skies,
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies:
Source of all, to You we raise
This our hymn of grateful 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:
Source of all, to You we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.
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:
Source of all, to You we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.
(Anglican)
