Our Great Redeemer's Praise ‎#20

20. All Things Bright and Beautiful

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

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

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

3 The cold wind in the winter,
the pleasant summer sun,
the ripe fruits in the garden:
God made them ev'ry one. [Refrain]

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