All Things Bright and Beautiful
Words: Cecil Frances Alexander · Music: William H. Monk · 1848
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 flow'r that opens,
each little bird that sings,
he made their glowing colors,
he made their tiny wings.
Verse 2
The purple-headed mountain,
the river running by,
the sunset and the morning
that brightens up the sky.
Verse 3
The cold wind in the winter,
the pleasant summer sun,
the ripe fruits in the garden:
he made them, ev'ry one.
Verse 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.
