  • Each little flower that opens
    Each little bird that sings
    He made their glowing colours
    He made their tiny wings

    All things bright and beautiful
    All creatures great and small
    All things wise and wonderful
    The Lord God made them all

    The rich man in his castle
    The poor man at his gate
    God made them high and lowly
    And ordered their estate

    All things bright and beautiful
    All creatures great and small
    All things wise and wonderful
    The Lord God made them all

    The purple headed mountain
    The river running by
    The sunset and the morning
    That brightens up the sky

    All things bright and beautiful
    All creatures great and small
    All things wise and wonderful
    The Lord God made them all

    The cold wind in the winter
    The pleasant summer sun
    The ripe fruits in the garden
    He made them every one:

    All things bright and beautiful
    All creatures great and small
    All things wise and wonderful
    The Lord God made them all

    The tall trees in the greenwood
    The meadows where we play
    The rushes by the water
    We gather every day

    All things bright and beautiful
    All creatures great and small
    All things wise and wonderful
    The Lord God made them all

    He gave us eyes to see them
    And lips that we might tell
    How great is God Almighty
    Who has made all things well Lyrics from a song in Public Domain
