Suggested Tune All things Bright and Beautiful (7.6.7.6. and refrain )


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

 

1. The vygie and the thorn trees
The laughing turtle doves
The kudus of the bushveld
Are made by God above.

 

2. The rugged Drakensberge
The Klein en Groot Karoo
The bushveld and the forest
The coast and ocean blue

 

3. This beautiful creation
He gave us out of love
He made us to be stewards
That all might plenty have


A South African version of All Things Bright and Beautiful
