All Things Bright & Beautiful

Hymn Title : All Things Bright & Beautiful

Author : Cecil Frances Alexander (1848)

Refrain: 

All things bright and beautiful, 

All creatures great and small, 

All things wise and wonderful, 

The Lord God made them all. 

Verse 1 

Each little flow’r that opens

Each little bird that sings 

He made their glowing colours

He made their tiny wings. [Refrain] 

Verse 2

The purple-headed mountain

The river running by

The sunset and the morning 

That brightens up the sky; [Refrain] 

Verse 3

The cold wind in the winter

The pleasant summer sun

The ripe fruits in the garden

God made them, ev’ry one. [Refrain] 

Verse 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]

Bible Verses for Meditation:

"15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. 17 And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together."       - Colossians 1:15-17
