Verse 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. Verse 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. Verse 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;      Why should my heart be sad? The Lord is King; let the heavens ring!      God reigns; let the earth be glad.
