Lyrics

[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.

[Refrain]

[Verse 2]
The purple-headed mountain,
the river running by,
the sunset and the morning
that brightens up the sky.

[Refrain]

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

[Refrain]

[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.

[Refrain]
