This is My Father's World
arranged by Paul J. Christiansen
words by Maltbie D. Babcock
music by Franklin L. Shepherd
Lyrics:
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.
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 rustling grass I hear him pass,
He speaks to me ev’ry where.
This is my Father’s world.
O let me not forget
That though the wrong seems oft so strong,
God is the ruler yet;
Let me not forget that God is ruler yet.
This is my Father’s world;
Why should my heart be sad?
The Lord id King, let heaven ring!
God reigns, let earth be glad!
