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 why should my heart be sad
The Lord is King let the heavens ring
God reigns let earth be glad
