For the Beauty of the Earth

You are my God and I will give You thanks.
You are my God, and I will exalt You.
Psalm 118:28

Folliot Pierpoint was born in 1835 in England.  After graduating from Cambridge, he taught at Somersetshire College.  One day when he was 29, he walked in the countryside on a beautiful spring day.  He saw the carpet of green, the blue dome of heaven, and the winding Avon River cutting through a flowery landscape.  Inspired, he wrote the words to For the Beauty of the Earth.
