For the Beauty of the Earth Christian Background Music History in short.

This hymn was written by Folliott Pierpoint, a classical scholar who lived a rather leisurely life in the lovely town of Bath, England. It is thought that the loveliness of the area inspired Pierpoint to write this hymn. While he wrote other hymns and poetry, it is only for this hymn that we remember him today. While we would be inclined to classify “For the Beauty of the Earth” as a hymn of thanksgiving or praise, Pierpoint wrote it originally as a Eucharistic hymn.
He ended the refrain with these words, which reflect the idea of the Mass as a sacrifice: Christ our God, to thee we raise This our sacrifice of praise.
