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 hand 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;
the battle is not done;
Jesus who died shall be satisfied,
and earth and heaven be one.
