Methodist-Hymns-852
1: ALL things which live below the sky,
Or move within the sea,
Are creatures of the Lord most High,
And brothers unto me.
2: I love to hear the robin sing,
Perched on the highest bough;
To see the rook with purple wing
follow the shining plough.
3: I love to watch the swallow skim
The river in his flight;
To mark, when day is growing dim,
The glow-worm’s silvery light;
4: The sea-gull whiter than the foam,
The fish that dart beneath;
The lowing cattle coming home;
The goats upon the heath.
5: Beneath his heaven there’s room for all;
He gives to all their meat;
He sees the meanest sparrow fall
Unnoticed in the street.
6: Almighty Father, King of kings,
The Lover of the meek,
Make me a friend of helpless things,
Defender of the weak.
