All Things Bright & 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 colours,
He made their tiny wings.
The purple-headed mountain,
The river running by,
That brightens up the sky.
The cold wind in the weather,
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.
Alle dingen stralend en licht
alle schepselen groot en klein,
al wat wijs is en wonderbaarlijk,
de Here God schiep het allemaal.
Van elk bloemetje dat ontluikt,
elk vogeltje dat zingt,
maakte Hij hun stralende kleuren,
maakte Hij hun vleugeltjes.
