Verse 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.
Chorus 1
This is my Father’s World,
I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas;
His hands the wonders wrought.
Verse 2
This is my Father’s world,
The birds, their carols raise;
The morning light, the lily white,
Declare their Maker's praise.
Chorus 2
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.
Verse 3
This is my Father’s world,
O let me ne’er forget,
That though the wrong
seems oft so strong,
God is the Ruler yet.
Chorus 3
This is my Father’s world,
The battle is not done;
Jesus who died shall be satisfied,
And earth and heav’n be one.
Amen.
