Captain Kidd by Jeremiah Ingalls — Lyrics
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,

About Captain Kidd
Jeremiah Ingalls sets a text that marvels at the omnipresence of God throughout the natural world. From fields of corn and meadows dressed in green, to rising waters, flowing rivers, and the roaring ocean, the lyrics find divine presence in every aspect of creation. The second part of the text turns to the celestial bodies: the sun, the moon, and the stars, all serving as testaments to God’s power and design. This SATB setting in English is a sacred work that explores these profound themes with reverence and expansive imagery.
