Author: Cecil F. Alexander Hymnal: VT2020 #177 (2020) Meter: 7.6.7.6 with refrain Scripture: Genesis 1 First Line: Each little flow'r 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 flow’r 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, 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] Topics: God Glory of; Seasons; Creation Beauty of; God Glory of; Praise; Seasons; Thanksgiving Tune Title: ROYAL OAK
