Gloria Deo ‎#723

723. Each Little Flower that Opens

1 Each little flow’r that opens,
Each little bird that sings;
God made their glowing colors,
And made their tiny wings.

2 The purple headed mountains,
The river running by,
The sunset and the morning
That brighten up the sky.

3 The cold wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden,
God made them ev’ry one.

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