[edit] Hymn: All things bright and beautiful

• All things bright and beautiful,
  All creatures great and small,
  All things wise and wonderful:
  The Lord God made them all.

• He gave us eyes to see them,
  And lips that we might tell
  How great is God Almighty,
  Who has made all things well.

[edit] Hymn: The Burial of Moses

• By Nebo’s lonely mountain,
  On this side Jordan’s wave,
  In a vale in the land of Moab,
  There lies a lonely grave.

• This was the truest warrior
  That ever buckled sword;
  This the most gifted poet
  That ever breathed a word;
  And never earth’s philosopher
  Traced with his golden pen
  On the deathless page truths half so sage
  As he wrote down for men.
