For The Beauty Of The Earth, We Praise Thee Lord who Made It

Psalm 95

Let us sing unto the Lord—

Let us worship and bow down before Him—

1 O come, let us sing unto the Lord: 

let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.

2 Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, 

and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.

3 For the Lord is a great God, 

and a great King above all gods.

4 In his hand are the deep places of the earth: 

the strength of the hills is his also.

5 The sea is his, and he made it: 

and his hands formed the dry land.

6 O come, let us worship and bow down: 

let us kneel before the Lord our maker.

7 For he is our God; 

and we are the people of his pasture, 

and the sheep of his hand. 

To day if ye will hear his voice...

Psalm 33

Rejoice in the Lord—

Sing unto Him a new song—

He loves righteousness and judgment—

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.

1 Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous: 

for praise is comely for the upright.

2 Praise the Lord with harp: 

sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.

3 Sing unto him a new song; 

play skilfully with a loud noise.

4 For the word of the Lord is right; 

and all his works are done in truth.

5 He loveth righteousness and judgment: 

the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.

6 By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; 

and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

7 He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: 

he layeth up the depth in storehouses.

8 Let all the earth fear the Lord: 

let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.

9 For he spake, and it was done; 

he commanded, and it stood fast.

For each perfect Gift of Thine

   To our race so freely given,

Graces human and Divine,

   Flowers of earth, and buds of Heaven:

Christ, our God, to Thee we raise

This our Hymn of Grateful Praise.
