Anglican hymn also sung in many other Christian denominations. The words are by Cecil Frances Alexander and were first published in her 1848 "Hymns for Little Children". The piece can be sung to several melodies, in particular the 17th-century English melody "Royal Oak", adapted by Martin F. Shaw in 1915 and "Bright and Beautiful" by William Henry Monk in 1887.
The first stanza goes as follows:
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all
