All things bright and beautiful - an appreciation of our world and all its wonders

This version was written to encourage a desire for all to be well in
our earthly home where each of us are responsible for its continued health and indeed its very survival.
The original words are by Cecil Frances Alexander and the 17th century tune is ‘Royal Oak’. It was first published in ‘Hymns for Little Children’ in 1848. The words here by Dany Rosevear have been adapted to reflect our duty of care and respect for the Earth.

Watch out for new music added eAll things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
We bless and praise them all.
Give praise and thanks for all
Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
We love their glowing colours,
We love their tiny wings.
The purple-headed mountain,
The river running by,
The sunset and the morning,
That brightens up the sky.
The cold wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden,−
We praise them every one:
The tall trees in the greenwood,
The meadows where we play,
The rushes by the water,
We gather every day;
We have eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell,
Of the wonders of creation,
Where all things live and dwell.
Praise for them springing
Fresh from the world!

I still like how Spitting Image had it: “Prince Philip shoots them all”
Dated but classic

[@danyrosevear7925]

Don't remember that one! What irreverence. :)
