His hand I see in every force and power,

Where waves the harvest and where blooms the flower;

In every breath I draw, my spirit burneth:

His love discerneth.

When summer winds blow gently, then I hear Him;

Where sing the birds, where rush the streams, I’m near Him;

But nearer still when in my heart He blesses

Me with caresses.

O where such beauty is itself revealing

In all that lives, through all creation stealing,
