All Things Bright and Beautiful

 Reff:

All things bright and beautiful,

All creatures great and small,

All things wise and wonderful:

The Lord God made them all.

 

VERSE 1

Each little flower that opens,

Each little bird that sings,

He made their glowing colors,

He made their tiny wings.

 

VERSE 2

 [Most hymnals omit the following verse]

VERSE 3

The rich man in his castle,

The poor man at his gate,

He made them, high or lowly,

And ordered their estate.

VERSE 4

The purple headed mountains,

The river running by,

The sunset and the morning

That brightens up the sky.

VERSE 5

The cold wind in the winter,

The pleasant summer sun,

The ripe fruits in the garden,

He made them every one.

VERSE 6

The tall trees in the greenwood,

The meadows where we play,

The rushes by the water,

To gather every day.

VERSE 7

He gave us eyes to see them,

And lips that we might tell

How great is God Almighty,

Who has made all things well
