GOD THE FATHER >> POWER OF GOD IN NATURE
SDAH 93
All things bright and beautiful
All creatures great and small
All things wise and wonderful
The Lord God made them all.
Text
Refrain
All things bright and beautiful
All creatures great and small
All things wise and wonderful
The Lord God made them all.
1
Each little flow’r that opens
Each little bird that sings
He made their glowing colours
He made their tiny wings.
2
The purple-headed mountain
The river running by
The sunset and the morning
That brighten up the sky.
3
The cold wind in the winter
The pleasant summer sun
The ripe fruits in the garden
He made them, every one.
4
He gave us eyes to see them
And lips that we might tell
How great is God Almighty
Who has made all things well.

The beauty of all creation, whether great or small, is a proof that there is a Creator. It is by faith that we are able to appreciate the power of God and experience His existence in our lives. (Lesson 1, 2nd Quarter 2021 -Sunday, Turtles All the Way Down, 3/28/2021)
