Sheet music
- 1Each little flow’r that opens,Each little bird that singsHe made their glowing colors,He made their tiny wings.All things bright and beautiful,All creatures great and small,All things wise and wonderful,The Lord God made them all.
- 2The purple-headed mountain,The river running by,The sunset, and the morningThat brightens up the sky;All things bright and beautiful,All creatures great and small,All things wise and wonderful,The Lord God made them all.
- 3The cold wind in the winter,The pleasant summer sun,The ripe fruits in the garden,He made them ev’ry one.All things bright and beautiful,All creatures great and small,All things wise and wonderful,The Lord God made them all.
- 4The tall trees in the green-wood,The meadows where we play,The rushes by the waterWe gather ev’ry day.All things bright and beautiful,All creatures great and small,All things wise and wonderful,The Lord God made them all.
- 5He gave us eyes to see them,And lips that we might tellHow great is God Almighty,Who has made all things well.All things bright and beautiful,All creatures great and small,All things wise and wonderful,The Lord God made them all.Amen.
