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, 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, 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, why should my heart be sad?
He is just and kind, He is love divine, His grace, all the hope that I have

This is my Father's world, I walk the desert alone
In a bush ablaze to my wandering gaze, God makes His glory known
This is my Father's world, a wanderer, I may roam
Whate'er my lot, it matters not, my heart is still His home
His heart is still my home
