Hush, little children, morning will come again
All things bright and beautiful
All creatures great and small
All things wise and wonderful
The Lord God made them all
The purple-headed mountain
The river running by
The sunset and the morning
That brightens up the sky
The tall trees in the greenwood
The meadows where we play
The rushes by the water
To gather every day
