142. All Things Bright and Beautiful

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

2 Each little flow'r that opens,
Each little bird that sings;
He made their glowing colors,
He made their tiny wings. [Refrain]

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

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

5 The tall trees in the greenwood,
The meadows where we play;
The rushes by the water
We gather every day; [Refrain]

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. [Refrain]
