ALL THINGS BEAUTIFUL. 



ALL things bright and beautiful 

 All creatures great and small, 

 All things %vise and wonderful, 

 The Lord God made them all. 



Each little flower that opens, 

 Each little bird that sings, 



He made their glowing colors, 

 He made their tin}' wings. 



The purple-headed mountain, 

 The rivsr, running by, 



The morning, and the sunset 

 That lighteth up the sky. 



The tall trees in the green wood, 

 The pleasant summer sun, 



The ripe fruits in the garden, 

 He made them, every one. 



He gave us eyes to see them, 

 And lips that we might tell 



How great is God Almighty, 



Who hath made all things well.

SING A SONG TO ME. 



FOR FOUR LITTLE PUPILS. 



T ITTLE robin in the tree 

 | j Sing a song to me. 

 Sing about the roses 



On the garden wall, 

 Sing about the birdies 



On the tree-top tall. 



Little lark up in the sky 

 Sing a song to me. 



Sing about the cloud-land, 

 Far off in the sky; 



When you go there calling, 

 DD your children cry? 



Tiny tomtit in the hedge, 

 Sing a song to me. 



Sing about the mountain, 

 Sing about the sea, 



Sing about the steamboats 

 Is there one for me ? 



Soot}' blackbird in the field, 

 Sing a song to me. 



Sing about the farmer, 



Planting corn and beans, 



Sing about the harvest 



I know what that means. 



SPRING SONG. 



HARK, the robins sweetly sing, 

 List, and hear the bluebirds ring, 

 Little May-flowers, swinging low, 

 Your pale faces to and fro, 

 Whispering softly, " Come and see, 

 We the children's friend will be. 

 Close beside the sheltering grass, 

 Stoop and pluck us as ye pass." 



White and cold the winter's snow, 

 Loud and rough north winds did blow, 

 But beneath our blanket white, 

 Slept we through the wintry night. 

 Till we heard the robins sing, 

 Whispered we, "It is the spring," 

 And we op'ed our sleepy eyes, 

 For the children's glad surprise.
