18b. Each little flower that opens

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

Refrain:
All things bright and beautiful,
all creatures great and small,
all things wise and wonderful–
the Lord God made them all.

5 He gave us eyes to see them,
and lips that we might tell
how great is God Almighty,
who has made all things well. [Refrain]
