1. 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 hands the wonders wrought. 2. 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. 3. 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!
