All things bright and beautiful,
all creatures great and small,
all things wise and wonderful:
in love, God made them all.
1 Each little flower that opens,
each little bird that sings,
God made their glowing colours,
God made their tiny wings: [Refrain]
2 The purple-headed mountain,
the river running by,
the sunset, and the morning
that brightens up the sky: [Refrain]
3 The cold wind in the winter,
the pleasant summer sun,
the ripe fruits in the garden,
God made them every one. [Refrain]
4 The rocky mountain splendour,
the lone wolf's haunting call,
the great lakes and the prairies,
the forest in the fall; [Refrain]
5 God gave us eyes to see them,
and lips that we might tell
how great is God our maker,
who has made all things well. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: ROYAL OAK
