A beautiful hymn

Spring is here and yesterday in church we sang lots of beautiful songs all about God and His creation. And the one that was really special was a South African twist on an old favourite...

All things bright and beautiful

All creatures great and small

All things wise and wonderful

The Lord God made them all.

The aloe and the vygie

The hoopoe and the dove

The mielie lands around us

They tell of God's great love.

Chorus

The cattle in the cow shed

The horses in the stall

The sheep upon the hillside

Proclaim God's love for all.

Chorus

The cosmos by the roadside

At Eastertide appear

The dolphins in the deep blue sea

Declare God's wonderous care.

Chorus

The raindrops in the gutter

Sweet music to the ear

Bring hope and joy and comfort

With drought no more to fear.

Chorus

Aren't those words just stunning?

ps.... I have been very bad at blogging (according to my standards)... but I will soon soon get photos up (from August and this past weekend)... so just please be patient. I even have a tonne of photos to post on our school blog which I haven't got too. And my google reader just keeps piling up and up... but I will get there and try and comment too.
