About this Hymn
This selection is part of a collection entitled Hymns for Little Children written by Irish hymn writer Cecil Francis Alexander in 1848, based on the Apostles' Creed. While serving with her husband, the Bishop of Derry, she wrote these songs out of a concern that every child should sing deeply the truths of the Bible.
Lyrics
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 colors, he made their tiny wings.
Verse 2
The purple-headed mountain, the river running by, the sunset and the morning that brightens up the sky.
Verse 3
The cold wind in the winter, the pleasant summer sun, the ripe fruits in the garden: he made them, ev'ry one.
Verse 4
He gave us eyes to see them, and lips that we might tell how 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.
