All Things Bright And Beautiful

 All Things Bright And Beautiful 

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

Each little flower that opens ,
Each little bird that sings ,
He made their glowing colours ,
He made their tiny wings .

The rich man in his castle ,
The poor man at his gate,
God made them, high or lowly,
And ordere'd their estate .

The sunset and the morning ,
The river running by ,
The Purple headed mountain ,
That brightens up the sky .

The cold wind in the winter ,
The pleasant summer sun ,
The ripe fruits in the garden ,
He made them everyone .

The tall trees in the green wood ,
The Meadows where we play ,
The rushes by the water ,
We gather every day .

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