HYMN • For the Beauty of the Earth • # 473, in the Blue Hymnals
For the beauty of the earth,For the glory of the skies,For the love which from our birthOver and around us lies. • Lord of all, to Thee we raise,This our hymn of grateful praise.
For the wonder of each hourOf the day and of the night,Hill and vale, and tree and flower,Sun and moon, and stars of light. • Lord of all, to Thee we raise,This our hymn of grateful praise.
For the joy of ear and eye,For the heart and mind’s delight,For the mystic harmonyLinking sense to sound and sight. • Lord of all, to Thee we raise,This our hymn of grateful praise.
For the joy of human love,Brother, sister, parent, child,Friends on earth and friends above, For all gentle • Thoughts and mild. • Lord of all, to Thee we raise,This our hymn of grateful praise.
For Thy Church, that evermoreLifteth holy hands above,Offering up on every shoreHer pure sacrifice of love. • Lord of all, to Thee we raise,This our hymn of grateful praise.
PRAYER OF FORGIVENESS – • (in unison) • Adapted from • Peter Marshall, • 1902-1949
Forgive us, Lord that as we grow to maturity, our faith gets blighted with doubts, withered with worry, tainted with sophistication. May you make us like children again in faith – not childish but childlike -
with a faith that trusts you even though we cannot see what tomorrow will bring. May you give each of us that childlike faith, …. which can lay aside all egotism and conceit….which is willing to be humble again.
Then may we feel once more as do our children who whisper their love to you, who trace with chubby little fingers the pictures of Jesus in a picture book – pictures that show you, Lord Jesus, with a hurt lamb in your arms or a child on your knee.
Help us, even now, to feel again like that, that we may be as loving, as trusting, as innocent, as grateful, as affectionate. And as we are willing to kneel again as children, then we shall discover for ourselves the glory you have revealed
and find the wonder of it gripping our hearts and preparing them for your peace. Then shall we, along with our children, enter into the Kingdom of God, and know it, and feel it, and rejoice in it. In your name we pray. Amen.

Honor your father and your mother, as the Lord your God commanded you, so that your days may be long and that it may go well with you in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.
