In the whisper of the breeze

In the roaring of the seas.

In the patter of the rain.

In their moaning and their pain.

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

The river running by,
The sunset and the morning,
That brightness up the sky.

The pleasant summer’s sun,
The ripe fruits in the country,
He made them everywhere.
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.
