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, 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
