This is My Father’s World

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
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
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
The battle is not done 
Jesus who died shall be satisfied 
And earth and heav’n be one
