Author: Percy Dearmer Hymnal: S4J1961 #80 (1961) Lyrics: 1 O Father, the maker of beautiful things,
Like roses and daisies and butterflies' sings,
And mountains and forests, and water and show;
All show us thy love for thou makest them so.
2 All creatures are thin in the world and beyond,
The bee in the pollen, the fish in the pond,
The fox in his burrow, the bird on the bough:
All show us thy love for thou makest them so.
3 The lambs and the calves and the fols that are born,
The beans and potatoes, the roots and the corn,
The apple and cherry trees, row after row:
All show us thy love for thou makest them so. Topics: God the Creator; Animals; Bees and Butterflies; Birds; Farm and Farm Animals; Fish; Flowers; Food; God's Love and Care; Mountains and Hills; Snow; Trees; Water Languages: English Tune Title: [O Father, the maker of beautiful things]
