This Is My Father's World

1      This is my Father's world,

        and to my list'ning ears

        all nature sings, and round me rings

        the music of the spheres.

        This is my Father's world;

        I rest me in the thought

        of rocks and trees, of skies and seas;

        his hand the wonders wrought.

2      This is my Father's world;

        the birds their carols raise;

        the morning light, the lily white,

        declare their maker's praise.

        This is my Father's world;

        he shines in all that's fair.

        In the rustling grass I hear him pass;

        he speaks to me ev'rywhere.

3      This is my Father's world;

        oh, let me not forget

        that, though the wrong seems oft so strong,

        God is the ruler yet.

        This is my Father's world;

        why should my heart be sad?

        The Lord is king, let heaven ring;

        God reigns, let earth be glad!
