Lyics

See the shining dew-drops

On the flowers strewed,

Proving as they sparkle-

God is ever good.



See the morning sunbeams,

Lighting up the wood,

Silently proclaiming-

God is ever good.



Hear the mountain streamlet

In the solitude,

With its ripple saying-

God is ever good.



In the leafy tree-tops,

Where no fears intrude,

Merry birds are singing-

God is ever good.



Bring, my heart, thy tribute,

Songs of gratitude,

While all nature utters-

God is ever good.
