O God Beautiful ‘*
















O God beautiful, O God beautiful,
At Thy feet, O I do bow!
O God beautiful, O God beautiful,
In the forest Thou art green;
In the mountain Thou art high;
In the river Thou art restless;
In the ocean Thou art grave.
O God beautiful, O God beautiful,
At Thy feet, O I do bow!
To the service ful Thou art service;
To the lover Thou art love;
To the sorrowful Thou art sympathy;
To the yogi Thou art bliss.
O God beautiful, O God beautiful,
At Thy feet, O I do bow!
O God beautiful, O God beautiful!
