This Is My Father's World

Author: Maltbie D. Babcock Hymnal: TH1990 #111 (1990) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Person Name: Maltbie D. Babcock Lyrics: 1 This is my Father's world, and to my list'ning 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. 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. 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: the battle is not done; Jesus who died shall be satisfied, and earth and heav'n be one.

And for his marriage feast prepare, for you must go to meet him there." 2 Zion hears the watchmen singing, and all her heart with joy is springing; she wakes, she rises from her gloom: for her Lord comes down all-glorious, the strong in grace, in truth victorious; her Star is ris'n, her Light is come! Ah, come, thou blessed Lord, O Jesus, Son of God, alleluia! We follow till the halls we see where thou hast bid us sup with thee. 3 Now let all the heav'ns adore thee, and men and angels sing before thee, with harps and cymbal's clearest tone; of one pearl each shining portal, where we are with the choir immortal of angels round thy dazzling throne; nor eye hath seen, nor ear hath yet attained to hear what there is ours; but we rejoice, and sing to thee our hymn of joy eternally.
