This Is My Father's World

This is my Father's world And to my listening ears All nature sings, and roundly rings The music of the spheres 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 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 Oh, 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 He shines in all that's fair In the rustling grass I hear Him pass He speaks to me everywhere In the rustling grass I hear Him pass He speaks to me everywhere
