God made the sky that looks so blue;
He made the grass so green;
He made the flowers that smell so sweet
In pretty colors seen.
God made the sun that shines so bright,
And gladdens all I see;
It comes to give us light and heat,
How thankful should we be.
God made the pretty bird to fly;
How sweetly has she sung;
And though site flies so very high,
She won’t forget her young.
God made the cow to give nice milk;
The horse for me to use;
I’ll treat them kindly for His sake,
Nor dare His gifts abuse.
God made the water for my drink;
He made the fish to swim;
He made the tree to bear good fruit;
O, how should I love Him!
But more than all, His precious Son,
He freely gave to die,
That I, though sinful, might be saved,
And dwell with Him on high.
