I was thinking something that pertains to my situation as a whole now, because we feel like we just got our "foot in the door" so to speak as to getting our small farm going. At the same time, we feel really blessed!
147. All Things Bright and Beautiful
Text: Cecil Frances Alexander
Music: 17th cent. English melody; arr. by Martin Shaw
Tune: ROYAL OAK, Meter: 76.76 with Refrain
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Refrain:
All things bright and beautiful,
all creatures great and small,
all things wise and wonderful:
the Lord God made them all.
1. Each little flower that opens,
each little bird that sings,
God made their glowing colors,
and made their tiny wings.
(Refrain)
2. The purple-headed mountains,
the river running by,
the sunset and the morning
that brightens up the sky.
(Refrain)
3. The cold wind in the winter,
the pleasant summer sun,
the ripe fruits in the garden:
God made them every one.
(Refrain)
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)
