All Things Bright and Beautiful

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 col­ors

He made their ti­ny wings.

[Most hym­nals omit the next verse]

The rich man in his cas­tle

The poor man at his gate

He made them

high or low­ly

And or­dered their es­tate.

The pur­ple head­ed mount­ains

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.

The tall trees in the green­wood

The mea­dows where we play

The rush­es by the wa­ter

To ga­ther ev­ery day.

He gave us eyes to see them

And lips that we might tell

How great is God Al­migh­ty

Who has made all things well.
