This is my Father's world: he shines in all that's fair; in the ruthling grass I hear him pass, he speaks to me everywhere. 3. 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.

His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form, and dark is his path on the wings of the storm. 3 This earth with its store of wonders untold, Almighty, thy power hath founded of old; hath 'stablished it fast by a changeless decree, and round it hath cast, like a mantle, the sea. 4 Thy bountiful care what tongue can recite? It breathes in the air, it shines in the light; it streams from the hills, it descends to the plain, and sweetly distills in the dew and the rain. 5 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, in thee do we trust, nor find thee to fail; thy mercies how tender, how firm to the end! Our maker, defender, redeemer, and friend. 6 O measureless Might, ineffable love! While angels delight to hymn thee above, thy humbler creation, though feeble their lays, with true adoration shall sing to thy praise. Scripture: Psalm 104:1-5 Used With Tune: HANOVER
