GOD IS GREAT AND GOOD.

I know God made the sun To fill the day with light; He made the twinkling stars To shine all through the night.

He made the hills that rise So very high and steep; He made the lakes and seas, That are so broad and deep.

He made the streams so wide, That flow through wood and vale; He made the rills so small, That leap down hill and dale.

He made each bird that sings So sweetly all the day; He made each flower that springs So bright, so fresh, so gay.

And He who made all these, He made both you and me; Oh, let us thank Him, then, For great and good is He.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
