All Things Bright & Beautiful

 
Refrain: 
All things bright and beautiful,  
 All creatures great and small, 
All things wise and wonderful, 
The Lord God made them all. 

Each little flow'r that opens,
Each little bird that sings, 
He made their glowing colors, 
He made their tiny wings. [Refrain]  
The purple-headed mountain 
The river running by,
The sunset and the morning 
That brightens up the sky. [Refrain]  
Pen & Ink, Paint 3D, Marie Byars art

The cold wind in the winter
The pleasant summer sun
The ripe fruits in the garden
He made them every one. [Refrain
cornucopia, colored pencil art, Dollar Tree coloring book
He gave us eyes to see them, 
And lips that we might tell 
How great is God Almighty, 
Who has made all things well. [Refrain]
-Cecil Frances Alexander, 1848 [female]

You pictures, I presume. I particularly like the mountain.

Hi. Yes, the top 2 pictures are mine. They were initially black & white pen& ink for a book I wrote and self-published about nature and the Bible. I colorized them with Paint 3D. The bottom one is from a very inexpensive coloring book, colored with colored pencils. I'm glad you like the pictures!

Thanks for visiting.
