Song: All Things Bright and Beautiful by Bill Staines

*All things bright and beautiful

All creatures great and small
All things wise and wonderful
'Twas God that made them all

Each little flower that opens

Each little bird that sings
He made their glowing colors
And made their tiny wings
Repeat*

He gave us eyes to see them

And lips that we might tell
How great is the Almighty
Who has made all things well
