英國作曲家約翰‧盧特（John Rutter, b.1945）是近三十年間英國最著名的作曲家之一，曾於劍橋St. Clare College 進修音樂，並於1975 至1979 年期間於該學院任職管風琴學者及音樂主任。他於1981 年成立劍橋合唱團（Cambridge Singers），於其中擔任指揮，並以他旗下的Collegium Records 名義製作多首聖樂作品錄音。盧特現居英國劍橋，並經常與各地不同合唱團及交響樂團合作。其合唱作品隨著他所創立的The Cambridge Singers 所發行的CD，廣泛流傳於各大合唱團及音樂節。盧特擅長創作讚美詩、聖誕歌及教會禮儀用詩歌，以其獨特的手法創作短小、朗朗上口的宗教合唱音樂，以簡單易記的旋律，搭配轉調、無伴奏A Capella重唱、齊唱等方式變奏，讓樂曲增添不同色彩。
Look at the World 完成於1996 年，是盧特的宗教小品代表作。歌詞大致上是讚頌造物主創造的美好世界，四個大段落的歌詞其實是二段式曲式的不斷從C 大調、降E 大調、B 大調、D大調、F 大調轉調串成，最後結束於D 大調。

Look at the world: Everything all around us
Look at the world: and marvel everyday
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 winters cold
Everything grows, everything has a season
Til' it is gathered to the fathers 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
