Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colours,

The purple-headed mountain,
The river running by,
The sunset and the morning,
That brightens up the sky.
The purple-headed mountain,
The cold wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruit in the garden,
He made them everyone.
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruit in the garden,
He made them everyone.
The tall trees in the green wood,
The meadows where we play,
The rushes by the water,
We gather every day.
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.
And lips that we might tell
How great is God Almighty,
who has made all things well.
