(refrain)
C F C Am
All things bright and beautiful,
G D G
all creatures great and small,
C F C Am
all things wise and wonderful,
C G C
the Lord God made them all.
(verse)
G D G
Each little flow'r that opens,
G D G
each little bird that sings,
Am D Em
he made their glowing colors,
G D G
he made their tiny wings.
The purple-headed mountains,
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,
To 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.

C G
I am weak, but Thou art strong;
C
Jesus, keep me from all wrong;
F
I’ll be satisfied as long
C G C
As I walk, let me walk close to Thee.
Refrain
G
Just a closer walk with Thee,
C
Grant it, Jesus, is my plea,
F
Daily walking close to Thee,
C G C
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.
Through this world of toil and snares,
If I falter, Lord, who cares?
Who with me my burden shares?
None but Thee, dear Lord, none but Thee.
Refrain
When my feeble life is o’er,
Time for me will be no more;
Guide me gently, safely o’er
To Thy kingdom shore, to Thy shore.

C G
While shepherds watched
F C
Their flocks by night
C D G
All seated on the ground
F G E
The angel of the Lord came down
G F C
And glory shone around
"Fear not," he said,
For mighty dread
Had seized their troubled minds
"Glad tidings of great joy I bring
To you and all mankind."
"To you in David's
Town this day
Is born of David's line
The Savior who is Christ the Lord
And this shall be the sign."
"The heavenly Babe
You there shall find
To human view displayed
And meanly wrapped
In swathing bands
And in a manger laid."
Thus spake the seraph,
And forthwith
Appeared a shining throng
Of angels praising God, who thus
Addressed their joyful song
"All glory be to
God on high
And to the earth be peace;
Goodwill henceforth
From heaven to men
Begin and never cease!"

G C G
'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
A D
Just to take him at his word;
G C G
Just to rest up-on his promise,
C D G
Just to know, "Thus saith the Lord."
(chorus)
G D
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust him!
G A A
How I've proved him o'er and o'er!
G C G
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
C D G
O for grace to trust him more!
Oh, how sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to trust His cleansing blood;
And in simple faith to plunge me
’Neath the healing, cleansing flood!
Yes, ’tis sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just from sin and self to cease;
Just from Jesus simply taking
Life and rest, and joy and peace.
I’m so glad I learned to trust Thee,
Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend;
And I know that Thou art with me,
Wilt be with me to the end.

D
O Shepherd divine, I know Thou art mine;
A D
Thy search in the night was for me.
D
This bleak world is cold, but warm is Thy fold;
A D
My Shepherd, I follow Thee.
G D
Thy beautiful lamp shineth bright o'er my way,
E A
Thy glorious light unto Thy per-fect day.
D
Thro' pastures serene, Thro' valleys of green,
A D
My Shepherd, I follow Thee.
O Shepherd divine, I know Thou art mine;
Thy great heart was broken for me.
Thy grace and Thy law I picture in awe;
They kissed upon Calvary.
Ah! Life that was given to ransom my soul,
Ah! Heart that was broken to make sinners whole,
This world is but loss
In view of Thy cross,
My Shepherd, I follow Thee.
O Shepherd divine, I know Thou art mine;
I hear Thee say, “Follow thou Me.”
Thy message today illumines my way;
The Spirit of Prophecy.
I thrill at Thy marvellous love to Thy sheep,
The way Thou dost lead to the still waters deep,
One staff and one rod,
One fold and one God;
My Shepherd, I follow Thee.

D G D
And did those feet in ancient time
G D Em G
walk upon England's mountains green?
D A D
And was the Holy Lamb of God
A D E A
on England's pleasant pastures seen?
A Em Am Em
And did the countenance divine
G C G
shine forth upon our clouded hills?
Em A D
And was Jerusalem builded here
G D G D
among these dark satanic mills
Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of de-sire!
Bring me my spear! O Clouds unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire!
I will not cease from mental fight,
nor shall my sword sleep in my hand,
'til we have built Jerusalem
in England's green and pleasant land!
