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 The birds their carols raise The morning light The lilly white Declare their Maker's praise 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 And to my listening ears All nature sings And round me rings The music of the spheres 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 And let me ne'er forget That, though the wrong Seems oft so strong God is the ruler yet This is my Father's world The battle is not done Jesus who died Will be satisfied And earth and heav'n be one
