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 little wings.
|
|
the purpleheaded 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.
|
|
the tall trees in the greenwood,
|
the meadows where we play,
|
the rushes by the water,
|
we gather every day.
