Author: Cecil F. Alexander Hymnal: Songs for Life #90 (1995) Meter: 7.6.7.6 with refrain First Line: Each little flower that opens Lyrics: 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 flower that opens,
each little bird that sings--
he made their glowing colors,
he 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--
he made them ev'ry one. (Refrain)
4 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)
