Tune: | TERRA BEATA |
Composer: | Franklin L. Sheppard |
1 This is God’s wondrous world,
and to my list’ning ears
all nature sings,
and round me rings
the music of the spheres.
This is God’s wondrous world;
I rest me in the thought
of rocks and trees,
of skies and seas,
the wonders God has wrought.
2 This is God’s wondrous world;
the birds their carols raise,
the morning light,
the dark of night,
declare their Maker’s praise.
This is God’s wondrous world;
a wand’rer I may roam
Whate’er my lot,
it matters not,
my heart is still at home.
3 This is God’s wondrous world;
oh, let me ne’er forget
that though the wrong
seems oft so strong,
God is the ruler yet.
This is God’s wondrous world;
the battle is not done.
Jesus who died
shall be glorified,
and earth and heav’n be one.
