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
Even those up on the throne
They exist for Him alone
This is my Father’s world
It was made to give Him praise
And you can’t take that away

This is my Father’s world
Oh, let me ne’er forget
That though the wrong seems oft so strong
God is the ruler yet
And though the wrong seems oh, 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!
The Lord is King let the heavens ring
God reigns let the earth be glad!

This is my Father’s world
The rocks and the trees
And the skies and the seas
This is my Father’s world
Created by Him for Him
This is my Father’s world
Even those up on the throne
They exist for Him alone
This is my Father’s world
The Lord is the King let the heavens ring
This is my Father’s world
It was made to give Him praise
And you can’t take that away
This is my Father’s world
