25. Each little flower that opens

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 colours,
He made their tiny wings:

2 The purple-headed mountain,
The river running by,
The sunset, and the morning
That brightens up the sky:

3 The cold wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden,
He made them every one:

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:
