[Instrumental]
[Verse]
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.
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
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.
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
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.
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!
