ON THIS SHEET: All things bright and beautiful, · All creatures great and small, · All things wise and wonderful, · The Lord God made them all. — Each little flower that opens, · Each little bird that sings, · He made their glowing colours, · He made their tiny wings. — The rich man in his castle, · The poor man at his gate, · God made them, high or lowly, · And order'd their estate. — The purple-headed mountain, · The river running by, · The sunset, and the morning, · That brightens up the sky; — The cold wind in the winter, · The pleasant summer sun, · The ripe fruits in the garden, · He made them every one; — The tall trees in the greenwood, · The meadows where we play, · The rushes by the water, · We gather every day;— — He gave us eyes to see them, · And lips that we might tell, · How great is God Almighty, · Who has made all things well. — Cecil Frances Alexander, 1848. LETTER SIZE: 3/8-inch. HANDWRITING: Dreaming Outloud. SHEETS: Copywork (Step 1), First Letter Hints (Step 2), Memory Lines (Step 3), Source Text, First Letters Only.
