This evening was Session 27 of #ClapBecauseWeCare (a few pictures of participants can been below).  Session 27 coincided with Earth Day, an event that reminds us how we need to take care of our fragile planet.

And we need to be doing this tirelessly — with great vigilance — just as our first responders, front liners and essential workers are doing for us during this COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic.


I'll leave it at that for today, dear reader, but not before sharing this YouTube video of performance of the hymn, "For The Beauty of the Earth."



Take a listen (and sing along)!

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
