Let Youth Praise Him ‎#20

20. Each little flower that opens

1 Each little flow'r that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
God made their glowing colors,
He made their tiny wings. [Refrain]

Refrain:
Yes, all things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
And all things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.

2 The purple-headed mountain,
The river running by,
The sunset and the morning red
That brightens up the sky. [Refrain]

3 The cold winds in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden
He made them every one. [Refrain]

4 He gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell
The goodness of the Father,
Who doeth all things well. [Refrain]
