10. All Things Bright and Beautiful

Refrain:
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful –
The Lord God made them all.

1 Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings –
He made their glowing colors,
He made their tiny wings. [Refrain]

2 The purple-headed mountain,
The river running by,
The sunset and the morning
That brighten up the sky. [Refrain]

3 The cold wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden –
He made them every one. [Refrain]

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