Worship in Song ‎#1

1. All Things Bright and Beautiful

Refrain:
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful;
In love, God made them all.

1 Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
God made their glowing colors,
God made their tiny wings. [Refrain]

2 The purple-headed mountain,
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 every 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]

5 God made the world with wisdom
And trusts it to our care
To cherish all and share earth's wealth
With people everywhere. [Refrain]
