All things bright and beautiful,
|
All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful, The Lord God made them all. Each little flower that opens, Each little bird that sings, He made their glowing colours, He made their tiny wings. The rich man in his castle, The poor man at his gate, God made them, high or lowly, And ordered their estate. 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 fruit in the garden, He made them every one. The tall trees in the greenwood, The meadows where we play, The rushes by the water We gather every day: He gave us eyes to see them, And lips that we might tell How great is God Almighty, Who has made all things well. |
Lepida lucentia, et maius et minus, fecit, sapientia stupendaque, Deus. Quot se pandere gemmae, quot cantant volucres, tot his pigmenta fecit alasque tenues. In aula locupletem et extra pauperem is fecit et utrumque probavit ordinem. Purpureumque montem, quod flumen praemeat caelumque quod sub noctem et mane rutilat: Hiberni qui sunt venti, aestivus qui tepor, qui fructus sunt in horto, is omnium dator. Is arborem proceram, ludendo gramina, ripariasque cannas, diurna spolia: Ut facta videamus is oculos dedit et voces ut dicamus quam bene fecerit. |
