1. Through all this world below, | |||
God we see all around, | |||
Search hills and valleys through, | |||
There he’s found. | |||
In growing fields of corn, | |||
The lily and the thorn, | |||
The pleasant and forlorn, | |||
All declare God is there; | |||
In meadows dressed in green, | |||
There he's seen. | |||
2. See springing waters rise, | |||
Fountains flow, rivers run; | |||
The mist beclouds the sky, | |||
Hides the sun: | |||
Then down the rain doth pour, | |||
The ocean it doth roar, | |||
And break upon the shore, | |||
All to praise, in their lays, | |||
A God that ne’er declines | |||
His designs. | |||
3. The sun with all his rays, | |||
Speaks of God as he flies; | |||
The comet in its blaze, | |||
God it cries. | |||
The shining of the stars, | |||
The moon when she appears, | |||
His dreadful name declares: | |||
See them fly through the sky, | |||
And join the silent sound | |||
From the ground.}} | |||

4. Then let my station be, | |||
Here in life, where I see | |||
The sacred trinity | |||
All agree, | |||
In all the works he’s made, | |||
The forest and the glade. | |||
Nor let me be afraid, | |||
Though I dwell in the hill, | |||
Where nature’s works declare | |||
God is there. | |||
5. God did to Moses show, | |||
Glories more than Peru; | |||
His face alone withdrew | |||
From the view. | |||
Mount Sinai was the place, | |||
Where God did show his grace; | |||
And Moses sang his praise, | |||
See him rise near the skies: | |||
And view old Canaan's ground | |||
All around. | |||
6. Elijah’s servant views | |||
From the hill and declares, | |||
A little cloud appears, | |||
Dry your tears: | |||
Our Lord transfigured is, | |||
With those blest saints of his, | |||
As faith the witnesses: | |||
See them shine all divine. | |||
While Olive’s Mount is blest | |||
With the rest.}} | |||

7. Not India hills of gold, | |||
With wonders, we are told. | |||
Nor seraphs strong and bold, | |||
Can unfold | |||
The mountain Calvary, | |||
Where Christ our Lord did die; | |||
Hark! hear the God-man cry, | |||
Mountains quake, heavens shake, | |||
When God, their Author’s ghost, | |||
Leaves their coast. | |||
8. And now from Calvary, | |||
{{ | We may stand and espy, | ||
Beyond this lower sky, | |||
Far on high, | |||
Mount Zion’s spicy hill, | |||
Where saints and angels dwell; | |||
Hark! hear them sing and tell | |||
Of their Lord, with accord, | |||
And join in Moses’ song, | |||
Heart and tongue. | |||
9. The hills are honored thus, | |||
By our Lord in his course, | |||
Let them not be by us | |||
Called a curse; | |||
Forbid it mighty King, | |||
But rather let us sing. | |||
While hills and valleys ring; | |||
Echoes fly through the sky, | |||
And heaven hears the sound | |||
From the ground.}} | |||
