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 gra** I hear Him pa**
He speaks to me everywhere
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!
This is my Father's world, dreaming, I see His face
I ope my eyes, and in glad surprise cry
"The Lord is in this place."
This is my Father's world, from the shining courts above
The Beloved One, His Only Son
Came a pledge of d**hless love
This is my Father's world, should my heart be ever sad?
The lord is King let the heavens ring
God reigns let the earth be glad
This is my Father's world
Now closer to Heaven bound
For dear to God is the earth Christ trod
No place but is holy ground
This is my Father's world. I walk a desert lone
In a bush ablaze to my wondering gaze God makes His glory known
This is my Father's world, a wanderer I may roam
Whate'er my lot, it matters not
My heart is still at home
