All Things Bright and Beautiful is a hymn that celebrates the beauty of creation and the joy of life. At Denise Wellington Funeral Services, we believe that this hymn’s uplifting message can bring a sense of peace and gratitude during a time of loss.
Written by Cecil Frances Alexander in 1848, “All Things Bright and Beautiful” is a joyful expression of faith and appreciation for the wonders of the world. It reminds us of the beauty that surrounds us, even in times of sorrow, and encourages us to find comfort in the natural world’s enduring cycles.
The hymn’s bright and cheerful melody, paired with its positive lyrics, makes it a popular choice for funerals, particularly for those who wish to celebrate a life well-lived. It’s a beautiful way to honour a loved one who had a deep appreciation for nature and the simple joys of life.
Words to All Things Bright and Beautiful
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 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.
He gave us eyes to see them, And lips that we might tell How great is God Almighty, Who has made all things well.
If “All Things Bright and Beautiful” reflects the spirit of your loved one, consider including it in the funeral service. Its celebration of life and creation can bring a comforting and uplifting presence to the ceremony.
