All things wise and wonderful,—
 
The Lord God made them all.
He made them, every one.
He gave us eyes to see them,
Who hath made all things well.
The pleasant summer sun,
The rich man in his castle,
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
How great is God Almighty,
The river running by,
 
The poor man at his gate,
The meadows where we play,
And lips that we might tell
And ordered their estate.
The morning, and the sunset
Each little bird that sings,—
We gather every day,—
He made their tiny wings.
The rushes by the water
The purple-headed mountain,
The ripe fruits in the garden,—
 
That lighteth up the sky,
 
The tall trees in the greenwood,
 
He made their glowing colors,
God made them, high or lowly,
The cold wind in the winter,
 
Each little flower that opens,
