All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small;
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord made them all.
Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings;
He made their glowing colors,
He made their tiny wings.
The purple headed mountain,
The river running by,
The sunset and the morning,
That brighten up the sky.
The cold wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun;
The ripe fruits in the garden,
He made them every one.
The tall trees in the green wood,
The meadows where we play;
The rushes by the water,
We gather every day.
He gave us eves to see them,
And lips that we might tell,
How great is God Almighty
Who has made all things well.
