See the Shining Dewdrops

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

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

In the leafy treetops,
Where no fears intrude,
Merry birds are singing,
“God is ever good.”

Bring, my heart, thy tribute,
Songs of gratitude,
All things join to tell us,
“God is ever good,
God is ever good.”

This children's nature hymn appears in many 19th-century Sunday-school collections (e.g., in books by Bradbury, Root, or similar compilers) but is almost always printed without a named lyricist. No strong attribution to a specific writer such as Follen, Taylor, or Havergal has been established.
