All
things bright and beautiful,
All
creatures great and small,
All
things wise and wonderful,
The
Good God made them all.
Each
little flower that opens,
Each
little bird that sings
He made
their glowing colours,
He
made their tiny wings.
The purple-headed
mountain,
The
river running by,
The
sunset and the morning,
That
brightens up the sky;
The cold
wind in the winter,
The
pleasant summer sun,
The
ripe fruits in the garden,
He
made them every one;
The tall
trees in the greenwood,
The
meadows for our play,
The
rushes by the water,
To
gather every day;
He gave
us eyes to see them,
And
lips that we might tell
How
great is God Almighty,
Who
has made all things well.
