Sunday Hymn: All Things Bright and Beautiful

Refrain

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

Each lit­tle flow­er that op­ens,
Each lit­tle bird that sings,
He made their glow­ing col­ors,
He made their ti­ny wings.

The pur­ple head­ed mount­ains,
The river run­ning by,
The sun­set and the morn­ing
That bright­ens up the sky.

The cold wind in the win­ter,
The plea­sant sum­mer sun,
The ripe fruits in the gar­den,
He made them ev­ery one.

The tall trees in the green­wood,
The mea­dows where we play,
The rush­es by the wa­ter,
To ga­ther ev­ery day.

He gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell
How great is God Al­migh­ty,
Who has made all things well.

—Cecil F. Alexander
