  • Vocal Arts Academy (Emily Crocker, director). 2013-January-28.
    John Rutter, born in London and educated at Clare College of Cambridge University, is known as the founder of the Cambridge Singers, as a choral conductor, and as a masterful arranger of songs, anthems and carols. His own compositions, written in a traditional style, are almost exclusively choral, but also include large orchestral works, opera, pop and light music, and music for BBC television. "For the Beauty of the Earth," published in 1980, was written for Rosemary Heffley and the Texas Choral Directors' Association. The text is by F. S. Pierpoint (1835-1917).

    I’m looking through all of my choirs songs from last year and I remember, when our teacher showed us this song, I was instantly in love. This might sound cringy as I was 12 at the time but I made me want to cry because of how beautiful it was. Today in the shower I was singing songs and remembered how much I loved this song, so I instantly got on youtube and it makes me miss singing this song so much

    I remember singing this song when I was in 6th grade almost 15+ years ago. I remember how much I loved this song. I’m so happy I found it again, it’s a beautiful hymn of praise to our Heavenly Father. Our king of Kings and Lord of Lords, may the Glory be His forever and ever. It brought so many tears to my eyes.

    For the beauty of the earth
    For the beauty of the skies
    For the love which from our birth
    Over and around us lies
    Over and around us lies
    Lord of all, to thee we raise
    This our joyful hymn of praise
    For the beauty of the hour
    Of the day and of the night
    Hill and vale and tree and flower
    Sun and moon and stars of light
    Sun and moon and stars of light
    Lord of all, to thee we raise
    This our joyful hymn of praise
    For the joy of human love
    Brother, sister, parent, child
    Friends on earth and friends above
    For all gentle thoughts and mild
    For all gentle thoughts and mild
    Lord of all, to thee we raise
    This our joyful hymn of praise
    For each perfect gift of thine
    To our race so freely given
    Graces human and divine
    Flow'rs of earth and buds of heav'n
    Flow'rs of earth and buds of heav'n
    Lord of all, to thee we raise
    This our joyful hymn, our joyful hymn of praise
    This our joyful hymn of praise

    this is the last song I ever sang with my middle school choir. we sang it as our last of 3 songs for UIL. thanks to corona, we don’t get to have a spring concert, and a proper goodbye, but I’m glad our last song together was this one. it’s so beautiful and now it will ALWAYS have a very special place in my heart.

    Original last two verses:
    For Thy Bride that evermore
    Lifteth holy hands above,
    Offering up on every shore
    This Pure Sacrifice of Love:
    Christ, our God, to Thee we raise
    This our Sacrifice of Praise.
    For Thy Martyrs' crown of light,
    For Thy Prophets' eagle eye,
    For Thy bold Confessors' might,
    For the lips of Infancy:
    Christ, our God, to Thee we raise
    This our Sacrifice of Praise.
    For Thy Virgins' robes of snow,
    For Thy Maiden Mother mild,
    For Thyself, with hearts aglow,
    Jesu, Victim undefiled,
    Offer we at Thine own Shrine
    Thyself, sweet Sacrament Divine.

    I had not heard this wondrous hymn until recently by way of the World Famous Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square.
    I fell in love with its melody & hopeful lyrics & began searching for other renditions. IMHO, The Vocal Arts sound the very best of all the Utube videos I have listened to. . .And for a relatively small choir made up of youth they bring a unique sound & heartfelt feeling beyond compare.
