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

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.

One of the lobeliest pieces ever. I was lucky enough to have been in a choir that performed this. It brings tears to my eyes.

This is beautiful. I remember singing this in high school and have been hooked since.

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.

It's crazy how the first few seconds bring back so much memories, my buddies, the atmosphere.. everything.

This the best rendition of this song on KZfaq.

This is so wonderful the one in the wheelchair also participated in it and no one was bothered or annoyed by him how sweet❤

I'm performing this tonight, super excited since it's been ik our program the whole year and we still haven't done it! Wish me luck 🤞

So beautiful. Thank you so much.

How beautiful to see young people singing such a beautiful piece. So well done. Bless you all

This was absolutely lovely. You did such a wonderful job with Rutter's version of For the Beauty of the Earth. Well done.

Best conductor i have seen. Placing the members in strategic spots so they need not stress out parts. Bravo 👏👏👏👏

I will sing it in Tokushima on November. I’m looking forward to sing it!!!

Love this song Primary school days memories ❤ Thabk you for the beautiful singing

A lovely rendition by this group of young people!

So professional! Well done! GORGEOUS song!!!!

The Vocal Arts brought a tear to my eyes. We used to sing the Rutter in our choir, when we had a choir.

my mom leads a choir and i've been hearing the people singing this song since i was little so this brought me a lot of memories back (even if the version i heard was always on german). and everytime i get to sing this song i just get so happy and filled with joy, it's just too beautiful

This puts tears in my eyes listening to it for the first time ever I just lost a family member a day ago I feel like I am with the angels of heaven

I come back to this video whenever I am feeling a bit down because the beauty of the performance and the lyrics lift my spirits without fail.

Sang this in 1985 with NC Honors chorus. Makes me think of my mom.This was her favorite we did.

The tone, the strength, amazing voices, all of you, thank you so much!!

Oh this song is so awesome. Sung by the youth of today. I commend the choir director for introducing this song to them. Glad to see they have a love for classics and masterfully composed music. There is much hope for our future and young leaders. God bless them as they go forward in life :)

This is truly lovely , makes one glad to be alive

Never forgot this song. Sang in high school

Thank you beautiful choir for this uplifting and joyous rendition of John Rutter's "For the Beauty of the Earth"! I absolutely Love this hymn and it lifts my heart up to God Our Creator. Thank you all and God bless you. Suzanne from Monza Italy!!!

So beautiful, brings tears to my eyes!

AMAZING acoustics, ecualizations, harmonies... incredible

Wow, amazing voice 🙏👌💐. God bless them abundantly.

Big Respect to all choir members and especially Mr. Piano Player and Mrs. Conductor..

I keep coming back to this version, all the other ones sound wrong to me somehow after having heard this

i'm actually singing it in choir right now and I wish we had such strong altos, I would love to have some strong altos, then me and the rest of the sopranos wouldn't feel as if we are the only ones singing....

It's like angels singing, beautiful!!!!!

So good beautiful work singers.

Beautiful composition and performance by all musicians and conductor. Thank you.

This is beautiful! Omg! They sing very much good! I love it! I'm trying to sing this music, because I'm hypnotized! Love it! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😘😘😘😘😘😘 Kisses for this singers! And good luck for outher concerts!

This is so sweet. Had to send it to someone I love.

We sang this in 11 years ago in Indonesia, check it in youtube : *"For the beauty of the earth John Rutter (Sejuta Damai 2012 IPPAK USD)"*

you did a great job teaching your choir! I love it!! truly :D

I love it!!! This is our school choir song!!! Amazing

Beautiful, your choir have angelic voices!! thanks for uploading.

You know ... this feels so natural and real to me. Not perfect but perfect in spirit... thank you for your hearts.

Exceptional school choir. That was beautiful.

😭 this is a beatifull song and this is my favorite song. 😭 Oh.. perfect song!! ❤😇

I never forgot this contest piece we won and it's amazing!love it

Who is listening this on June 2020 in America with coronavirus and riots?

Este vídeo tornou o meu dia iluminado, sereno e alegre. Parabéns pelo trabalho e obrigada por ter compartilhado conosco.

Heavenly sounds !

The algorithm got one right for a change... Just when I needed a reminder. Well done...

we sing this for our school choir, harmonies, descants, and all!

I always remember the song. Memory in my school singing together . A Clare Benediction,Look at The World,and For the Beauty of the Earth. 😇

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.

How can anybody put a thumbs down on this ??

Absolutely soul stirring. ❤️

Remember when i sing this song in a college with my friends feel so good and peace....

BEAUTIFUL! sopranos are STUNNING!!!!!

it made me feel incredibly emotional , thankyou. music can be measured in many ways. and for me its emotion

I sang this with Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp's International Choir back in 1985, when I was just 17.

Lord to Thee we raise, this our hymn of grateful praise! May the Lord of the whole earth receive joyful praise and adoration from His creation that is due to Him alone. To Him Be Glory!

I have finally found a decent KZfaq video that I can get my sch choir to learn so much from! We're currently learning this song too :)

Great job!

Beautiful chorus!

I hope every one of you take the beauty and power of this hymn with you for the rest of your life....❤❤

Excellent. One of the best renditions.

Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing!

beautiful rendition, thank you

My daughter loves that song she is doing it in chorus

This us such a wonderful rendition of one of my plu - favourites! Thank you to a those beautiful talented singers , and their director!

Bravo!! Sounds like a group 3x your size!! Great diction for young singers!

Beautiful rendition of this arrangement! Thank you Vocal Arts Academy.

Thank you! Blessings upon blessings!

Rutter's compositions are Majestic....Great Choir!

Im doing this song for my choir about next month and im in primary school.................................. 😎 😎 😎 😜 😝 😛 😊

I love this song. I remember singing this song in highschool with my choir.

I love that song! I sang it the choir of the Unitarian Universalist Church.

John Rutter's rendition of the song "For the Beauty of the Earth" deserves to be called a modern day masterpiece!

Omigosh, wonderful, i don't have the words, thank you❤❤❤

Just gorgeous. Well done.

Simply divine!

Happy Easter 2023

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.

Beautiful, this gave me chills x

That is so beautiful. Reminds me of when my kids were in chorus

Well done! Beautifully sung and every word as clear as a bell.

It's always beautiful song.

One of the most soul lifting hymn I am addicted to

Amazing!

Great effort put forth. Spread the Joy !

I agree. This is one of my favorite hymns, and I thought this choir did a beautiful job with it.

While listening this more than awesome and awe inspiring hymn I pictured myself ascending up to heaven in the arms of my lord and Savior Jesus the Christ .

This song gives me the chills always...

I sang this in High School….. beautiful and glorious…… no doubt l appreciate it more now, as a mature adult!

Beautiful!!!

Just came across this piece absolutely beautifully performed by all .

This is a gorgeous performance.

This arrangement is pretty spot on how we're singing it at choir right now, and rehearsing each week in time for our concert performance in a few weeks
