No.5 – God saw what He had made and it was very Good.

All things Bright and Beautiful

 

“The purple-headed mountain
The river running by,
The sunset, and the morning,
That brightens up the sky.”

 

Few hymns portray the joyfulness of Creation as beautifully as the classic hymn “All thins bright and beautiful.”  Its lively tune and colourful images have made it a favourite for many generations. Cecil Frances Alexander, the wife of an Archbishop of Armagh wrote the hymn to help children understand the wonders of  Creation, the great and small, the seen and unseen.  Based on Genesis 1 v 31 “God saw all he had made and it was very good”, this uplifting hymn continues to bring joy to this day.
