For The Beauty Of The Earth

May 07, 2021 / North Creek Church

Folliot Sanford Pierpoint - that’s the unlikely name of the author of this great hymn. Folliot was born October 7, 1835, in Bath, England. After graduating from Cambridge University, he taught at Somersetshire College in his home area of Bath.

One day when he was 29, Folliot found himself walking in the countryside on a beautiful spring day. He saw the ocean of green, the blue dome of heaven, and the winding Avon River cutting through the flowery landscape. Overwhelmed with God’s creative brilliance, he wrote this poem.

“For the Beauty of the Earth” is one of only a few songs devoted purely to giving thanks.
