591. See the shining dewdrops

1 See the shining dewdrops
On the flowers strewed,
Proving, as they sparkle:
God is ever good.

2 See the morning sunbeams
Lighting up the wood,
Silently proclaiming:
God is ever good.

3 Hear the mountain streamlet
In its solitude,
With its ripple saying:
God is ever good.

4 In the leafy tree-tops,
Where no fears intrude,
Merry birds are singing:
God is ever good.
