All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful-
The Lord God made them all.
Each
little flower that opens,
Each
little bird that sings, -
He
made their glowing colours,
He
made their tiny wings.
The
purple-headed mountain,
The
river running by,
The
sunset, and the morning
That
brightens up the sky,
The
cold wind in the winter,
The
pleasant summer sun,
The
ripe fruits in the garden, -
He
made them every one:
He
gave us eyes to see them,
And
lips that we might tell
How
great is God Almighty,
Who
has made all things well.

Verse 1 is also sung as a refrain after each other verse.
