of rocks and trees, of skies and seas;
his hand the wonders wrought.

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

in pastures green; he leadeth me
the quiet waters by.

and me to walk doth make
within the paths of righteousness,
e'en for his own name’s sake.
3 Yea, though I walk in death’s dark vale,
yet will I fear no ill;
for thou art with me, and thy rod
and staff me comfort still.
4 My table thou hast furnished
in presence of my foes;
my head thou dost with oil anoint,
and my cup overflows.
5 Goodness and mercy all my life
shall surely follow me;
and in God’s house forevermore
my dwelling place shall be.

Divine influences compared to rain
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 47 hymnals Topics: Spirit of God First Line: As showers on meadows newly mown Lyrics: 1 As showers on meadows newly mown,
Jesus shall shed his blessings down,
Crown'd with whose life-infusing drops,
Earth shall renew her blissful crops.
2 Lands that beneath a burning sky,
Have long been desolate and dry,
Th' effusions of his love shall share,
And sudden greens and herbage wear.
3 The dews and rains, in all their store,
Drenching the pastures o'er and o'er,
Are not so copious as that grace,
Which sanctifies and saves our race.
4 As in soft silence vernal showers
Descend, and cheer the fainting flowers,
So in the secrecy of love
Falls the sweet influence from above.
5 That heavenly influence let me find
In holy silence of the mind,
While every grace maintains it bloom,
Diffusing wide its rich perfume.
6 Nor let these blessings be confin'd
To me, but pour'd on all mankind,
'Till earth's wild wastes in verdure rise,
And a young Eden bless our eyes.
Scripture: Psalm 72:6

Every grace that brings you nigh,

Bruised and mangled by the fall;
If you tarry till you’re better,

Sinners Jesus came to call.

Sinners Jesus came to call.
