Lesson LV 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.
