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).

For my mum who passed away 3 Weeks ago ..she was my life
❤
May the Lord have you consolation
She lives on through you sweet sister. God bless you ❤❤❤❤
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 hope every one of you take the beauty and power of this hymn with you for the rest of your life....❤❤
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 🤞
The tone, the strength, amazing voices, all of you, thank you so much!!
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
One of my favourites. Sang this in my local choir for 2 years and it’s very fitting I came across it today for personal reasons. A treasured song full of joy ✨⭐️✨
beautiful hymn and words. I think the second verse, 1st line is, for the beauty of each hour?
Thank you for taking the time to add the lyrics of this divinely inspired hymn. Blessings and love you!
Thanks for posting the lyrics! We always use this piece in competitions when I was in gradeschool and we always won.
Thankyou and God bless yall and take care of everyone of ya ...LORD OF ALL TO THEE RAISE THIS OUR JOYFUL HYMN OF PRAISE ALLELUIA AND AMEN ..
This the best rendition of this song on RUclips.
Totally agree!
The one of the two kids at St. Paul’s in England is excellent as well
This is so wonderful the one in the wheelchair also participated in it and no one was bothered or annoyed by him how sweet❤
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.
are you alive
God bless you! we Did it too!
Hope you All are singing together again. Beautifully.❤
Who is listening this on June 2020 in America with coronavirus and riots?
Me
It's crazy how the first few seconds bring back so much memories, my buddies, the atmosphere.. everything.
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)"*
I keep coming back to this version, all the other ones sound wrong to me somehow after having heard this
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.

I'm in middle and we are doing this song.
You must not be in public school, they won't allow sacred music.
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
Sending you peace and comfort in this time of sorrow.
Best conductor i have seen. Placing the members in strategic spots so they need not stress out parts. Bravo 👏👏👏👏
When my uncle passed away this song was song only 1 years ago
Sang this in 1985 with NC Honors chorus. Makes me think of my mom.This was her favorite we did.
The algorithm got one right for a change... Just when I needed a reminder. Well done...
That is so beautiful. Reminds me of when my kids were in chorus
My daughter loves that song she is doing it in chorus
The Vocal Arts brought a tear to my eyes. We used to sing the Rutter in our choir, when we had a choir.
Happy Easter 2023
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.
So beautiful, brings tears to my eyes!
So professional! Well done! GORGEOUS song!!!!
This is so sweet. Had to send it to someone I love.
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....
So good beautiful work singers.
How beautiful to see young people singing such a beautiful piece. So well done. Bless you all
Love this song
Primary school days memories ❤
Thabk you for the beautiful singing
Remember when i sing this song in a college with my friends feel so good and peace....
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.
Never forgot this song. Sang in high school
Deborah Keeton bruh same i sang this in middle school tho
Too bad I couldn't sing this in public school, everybody told me it would violate the separation of CHURCH and state.
Alan Bishop I sang this in a public school
I'm singing this in middle school and z public school
@@vonreign5982 lucky you!
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 :)
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
Beautiful composition and performance by all musicians and conductor. Thank you.
Great job!
My mother’s mother’s favorite song is this
Omg I can actually hear the altos!!! Congrats you guys rocked this piece! (I'm so nervous about this piece because my choirs doing it this Sunday for our concert.)
Me too but next Thursday! Good luck

You know ... this feels so natural and real to me. Not perfect but perfect in spirit... thank you for your hearts.
This is truly lovely , makes one glad to be alive
Beautiful job, all!
This was absolutely lovely. You did such a wonderful job with Rutter's version of For the Beauty of the Earth. Well done.
this is bringing so many memories I jiust graduated from highschool :(
I just saw a comment from you before -- we sang this at regionals back in middle school it's insane to think I'm about to graduate from university and it came up :/
I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. I play the piano and organ. Today (August 17), I filled in at a local Presbyterian Church. I played this as the Hymn of Praise. However, it was to the tune, DIX, composed by Conrad Kocher, 1786-1872.
Exceptional school choir. That was beautiful.
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.
Bravo!! Sounds like a group 3x your size!! Great diction for young singers!
I think so too!
I love it!!!
This is our school choir song!!!
Amazing
SAME! Lol😂😂
So beautiful, bet you are proud of your school
A lovely rendition by this group of young people!
I will sing it in Tokushima on November.
I’m looking forward to sing it!!!
Heavenly sounds !
Beautiful chorus!
To our Shell.
Everyday we think of you and love you! Rest in peace and watch over Clara and Jen. Missed by so many x

you did a great job teaching your choir! I love it!! truly :D
Amazing
Amazing!
I sang this with Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp's International Choir back in 1985, when I was just 17.
Big Respect to all choir members and especially Mr. Piano Player and Mrs. Conductor..
You're very good and Rutter is really brilliant. My choir sang Candlelight Carol during one of our last performances using a new arrangement. Write this in the search: you will surely like it.

I have finally found a decent RUclips video that I can get my sch choir to learn so much from! We're currently learning this song too :)
Qiu Yin Lim ur a teacher or student?
What a joy and consolation to hear this in this awful pandemic
Singing this in 6th grade choir! It’s great
John Rutter's rendition of the song "For the Beauty of the Earth" deserves to be called a modern day masterpiece!
It's like angels singing, beautiful!!!!!
Im singing this for my choir concert
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 .
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! sopranos are STUNNING!!!!!
