All Things Bright and Beautiful
~Cecil Frances Alexander
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 mountain,
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.
He gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell,
How great is God Almighty,
Who has made all things well.
(The kids all had to memorize this poem in grade 2, and this picture reminded me of it…)
I have never sung that song. (that looks weird... i had not sang that song before? ack. you know what i mean!)
ReplyDeleteI have the words and cue cards in my Sunday School room, but not knowing the tune very well has kept me from singing it. I guess I should remedy that!
