Author: Mrs. C. F. Alexander, 1818-95 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #264 (1986) Meter: 7.6.7.6 with refrain First Line: Each little flower that opens Lyrics: Refrain:
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.
2 Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colours,
He made their tiny wings. [Refrain]
3 The purple-headed mountain,
The river running by,
The sunset and the morning,
That brightens up the sky; [Refrain]
4 The cold wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden,--
He made them every one; [Refrain]
5 *The tall trees in the greenwood,
The meadows for our play,
The rushes by the water,
To gather every day;-- [Refrain]
6 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] Topics: Times and Seasons God in Nature; Harvest Languages: English Tune Title: ROYAL OAK
