LYRICS:
Look at the world, everything all around us:
Look at the world, and marvel every day.
Look at the world: so many joys and wonders,
So many miracles along our way.

Praise to thee, O Lord, for all creation,
Give us thankful hearts, that we may see:
All the gifts we share, and every blessing,
All things come of thee.

Look at the earth bringing forth fruit and flower;
Look at the sky, the sunshine and the rain;
Look at the hills, look at the trees and mountains,
Valley and flowing river, field and plain:

Think of the spring, think of the warmth of summer
Bringing the harvest before the winter's cold.
Everything grows, everything has a season,
Till it is gathered to the Father's fold:

Every good gift, all that we need and cherish
Comes from the Lord in token of his love;
We are his hands, stewards of all his bounty;
His is the earth, and his the heavens above:
(John Rutter)

Be Thou My Vision
Gathered from across the Collegium catalogue, Be thou my vision includes all of the church anthems and other sacred pieces for which Rutter is justly famous, representing for the first time a handy compendium of the best-loved Rutter works in their definitive performances by the Cambridge Singers, directed by the composer.

John Rutter, English composer and conductor, is associated with choral music throughout the world. His recordings with the Cambridge Singers (the professional chamber choir he set up in 1983) have reached a wide global audience, many of them featuring his own music in definitive versions. Among John’s best-known choral works are Gloria, Requiem, Magnificat, Mass of the Children, and Visions, together with many church anthems, choral songs and Christmas carols.

Rutter is an agnostic but he is probably a better composer than every believer alive today.

It's heartening to see there are still hymn composers of this caliber nowadays. They are rare.

One of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. This is what Paul is speaking about when he says Psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs.

I've always been a huge fan of John Rutter but this one is special. I listened to it over and over during those horrible weeks in the spring and summer of 2020 when the entire world had turned upside down and we couldn't find the new normal. This song was something for me to hold onto and I still can't listen to it without crying. Thank you, Lord, for Mr. Rutter.

John Rutter has captured the message of God's love for us that we have in Creation. Would the words and music of this amazing piece of music guide our conservation of what God has given to us.

I like a lot of Rutter's marvelous pieces including this one - oh my gosh! I could sing this on Songs of Praise and not only bring hope back to a bitter world. But perhaps maybe restore faith between people. I would love to do it. Because my instinct as a Church Chorister would dictate that I should.
