1
This is my Father's world,
And to my listening ears
All nature sings, and round me rings
The music of the spheres.

2
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.

3
This is my Father's world,
The birds their carols raise,
The morning light, the lily white,
Declare their maker's praise.

4
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.

5
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.

6
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!
