lyrics

This is My Father’s World

This is my Father's world,
And to my listening 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.

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 everywhere.

This is my Father’s world
Dreaming I see His face
I open my eyes and in glad surprise
The Lord is in this place
This is my Father’s world
From the shining courts above
The beloved one God’s only Son
Brings a pledge of deathless love

This is my Father's world:
O let me ne'er forget
That though the wrong seems all so strong,
God is the Ruler yet.
This is my Father's world:
Why should my heart be sad?
The Lord is King: let the heavens ring!
God reigns; let the earth be glad!
