All Things Fair and Bright are Thine by Oliver Shaw — Lyrics
1. Thou art, O God, the life and light
Of all this wondrous world we see;
Its glow by day, its smile by night,
Are but reflections caught from Thee.
Where'er we turn, thy glories shine,
And all things fair and bright are thine!

About All Things Fair and Bright are Thine
Oliver Shaw's All Things Fair and Bright are Thine is a sacred anthem for treble voices. This setting for SS, ST, and TT voices explores themes of divine creation and the beauty of the natural world. The text, a reflection on God as the source of all light and glory, finds a fitting musical expression in this traditional American sacred music. The composer's setting emphasizes the awe-inspiring presence of the divine in the everyday world, from the light of day to the radiant hues of sunset. The music likely complements the devotional nature of the lyrics, offering a soundscape that mirrors the reverence and wonder inspired by the text.
