lyrics

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. O let me ne’er forget
that though the wrong seems oft so strong, He is the ruler yet. This is my Father’s world: the battle is not done:
Jesus Who died shall be satisfied, and earth and Heav’n be one.

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 deathless love.

This is my Father's world, a wanderer I may roam,
whate'er my lot, it matters not, my heart is still at home.
This is my Father's world, should my heart be ever sad?
The Lord is King---let the Heavens ring He reigns---let earth be glad.
