Praise for the Lord (Expanded Edition) ‎#24

24. All Things Bright and Beautiful

1 The little flow'r that opens,
The little bird that sings
God made their glowing colors,
He made their tiny wings.

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

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

3 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]
