This arrangement for two-part choir and piano combines a newly-composed tune with the familiar hymn tune DIX. Easy and accessible to children's choirs of all ages and sizes, this piece makes a great introduction to two-part singing.

For the beauty of the earth,
For the glory of the skies,
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies:
Christ, our Lord, 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 flow'r,
Sun and moon and stars of light:
Christ, our Lord, to You we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.

For Yourself, best gift divine
To the world so freely giv'n;
Agent of God's grand design,
Peace on earth and joy in heav'n:
Christ, our Lord, to You we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.
