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
Oh, let me never 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 The Lord is king, let the heavens ring
God reigns, let the earth be glad
