O world of light and glo­ry!
O sky of cloud and blue!
Thy dai­ly song and sto­ry
Is ev­er fresh and new.
Then let us join the chor­us,
With voic­es glad and clear,
His love is watch­ing o’er us,
Who sees afar and near.

The trees and grass and flow­ers,
The birds that sing His praise,
The gen­tle sum­mer show­ers,
The shin­ing au­tumn days,
From God’s own hand are giv­en,
In lov­ing boun­ty free;
He made the earth and Heav­en,
He dwells with you and me.

He gave the pre­cious trea­sure
Of home and loved ones dear,
The bless­ing and the plea­sure
That crown each hap­py year.
And, oh, be­yond our telling,
His on­ly Son He gave,
All oth­er gifts ex­cell­ing,
A sin­ful world to save.
