All Things Bright And Beautiful
words by Cecil F. Alexander (1818-1895)

Refrain
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

[2]
The rich man in his castle
The poor man at his gate
He made them high or lowly
And ordered their estate.

[3]
The purple headed mountains
The river running by
The sunset and the morning
That brightens up the sky

[4]
The cold wind in the winter
The pleasant summer sun
The ripe fruits in the garden
He made them every one

[5]
The tall trees in the greenwood
The meadows where we play
The rushes by the water
To gather every day

[6]
He gave us eyes to see them
And lips that we might tell
How great is God Almighty
Who has made all things well
