Beauty All Around Us
Commissioned by the Duncan Choral Society

lyrics
Beauty all around us,
there is beauty all around us.
Through the night, all through the day,
Lord of all, I humbly pray.
May true beauty dwell in me.
For the beauty of the earth,
for the beauty 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.
May I walk - with beauty before me,
all day long - with beauty behind me,
may I walk - with beauty before me,
all day long - with beauty behind me.
May I walk - with beauty below me,
may I walk - with beauty below me.
all day long.
For the beauty of each hour
of the day and of the night.
Hill and dale and tree and flower,
sun and moon and stars of light.
Lord of all to Thee we raise
this, our hymn of grateful praise.
Beauty all around us,
there is beauty all around us.
Through the night, all through the day,
Lord of all, I humbly pray.
May true beauty dwell in me.
May I walk - with beauty before me,
all day long - with beauty behind me,
may I walk - with beauty before me,
all day long - with beauty behind me.
May I walk - with beauty below me,
may I walk - with beauty below me.
all day long.
May I walk in truth and beauty.
