‘Twas God who made the world,
The lovely world I see;
Each blade of grass, each flower unfurled,
He made them, all, the mighty tree,
The fields of corn, the sky, the sea,
All men, all creatures, great and small,
For His delight He made them all.
He taught the birds to sing
The pretty notes I hear.
He gave the butterfly his wing,
And taught the little squirrel where
To store his food His tender care
For all that walks, swims, moves or flies—
He loves them all—their wants supplies.
Each little girl and boy
He does so dearly love.
That He might fill their hearts with joy
He sent His Jesus from above,
To tell them of His wondrous love
And say that in His glory bright
He wants them all for His delight.
