Lyics

How beauteous is the earth!

How bright the sky!

How wisely planned by Him

Who reigns on high!



Chorus--His love is rich and free--

A boundless store!

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,

Forever more!



By day he makes the sun

To pour forth light:

The moon and starry host

To shine by night;--CHO.



He waters hill and dale

With dews and showers;

And crowns their varied soils

With fruits and flowers:--CHO.



He sent his only Son

To save the world,

When, from its Eden bowers,

Fallen man was hurled:--CHO.



His face hath smiled on us,

Above all lands;

Our thousand splendid gifts

Are from his hands;--CHO.
