All things bright and beautiful

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the Earth and everything in them. This hymn celebrates our all-powerful, infinite creator God who created all the good things we enjoy in life. This is also a reminder to think upon all these good things whether life is pleasant or we’re going through a bit of a rough patch. In arranging this song, I remembered our lesson on avantgarde harmony, using chromatic passing notes, and discords, which I’ve experimented with in the middle of this song before getting back on track with a majestic ending. I pray that you’ll be blessed as you contemplate all things bright and beautiful that our infinite God has made. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Thi... https://hymnary.org/text/each_little_... Philippians 4:8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. **** Lyrics **** Chorus All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small, all things wise and wonderful, the Lord God made them all. Verse 1 Each little flower that opens, Each little bird that sings, He made their glowing colours, He made their tiny wings. Verse 2 The rich man in his castle, The poor man at his gate, God made them, high or lowly, And ordered their estate. Verse 3 The purple-headed mountain, The river running by, The sunset and the morning, That brightens up the sky. Verse 4 The cold wind in the winter, The pleasant summer sun, The ripe fruits in the garden,− He made them every one: Verse 5 The tall trees in the greenwood, The meadows where we play, The rushes by the water, We gather every day;− Verse 6 He gave us eyes to see them, And lips that we might tell, How great is God Almighty, Who has made all things well. **** Attribution **** Background image: Johann Wenzel Peter: Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden / Adam and Eve in the earthly paradise https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi...
