"This is a folk hymn (Jackson 1953a, no. 142), based on a 17th-century ballad, ''Captain Kidd''. Considerably revised by Captain Kidd (Alexander Johnson) in 1818, rewritten in A minor for four voices; this revision forms the basis for the three-voice ''Captain Kidd'' in ''Southern Harmony'', p. 50. Words by an unknown author, before 1800; nine stanzas in Ingalls 1805. Porter and Garst (1979) found more than twenty tunes in this unusual meter, including the present one."

¶Liedtext

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.
