This Is My Father's World
Author: Maltbie D. Babcock Appears in 333 hymnals Topics: Faithfulness Of God Lyrics: 1 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.
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:
Why should my heart be sad?
The Lord is King: let the heavens ring!
God reigns; let earth be glad!
Amen.

For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid;
I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
Upheld by my gracious, omnipotent hand.

The rivers of woe shall not thee overflow,
For I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless,
And sanctify to thee, thy deepest distress.

My grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply;
For flame shall not hurt thee--I only design
Thy dross to consume and thy gold to refine.

I will not, I will not desert to his foes;
That soul, tho' all hell should endeavor to shake,
I'll never, no never, no never forsake!" Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:11 Used With Tune: FOUNDATION Text Sources: "K" in Rippon's A Selection of Hymns", 1787

Praise to the Holiest in the Height
Author: John Henry Newman (1801-1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 175 hymnals Topics: Praise of God Lyrics: 1 Praise to the Holiest in the height,
and in the depth be praise;
in all his words most wonderful,
most sure in all his ways.
2 O loving wisdom of our God!
When all was sin and shame,
a second Adam to the fight
and to the rescue came.
3 O generous love! that flesh and blood,
which did in Adam fail,
should strive afresh against the foe,
should strive and should prevail:
4 and that the highest gift of grace
should flesh and blood refine;
God's presence and his very self,
and essence all-divine;
5 who in the garden secretly,
and on the cross on high,
should teach his followers, and inspire
to suffer and to die.
6 Praise to the Holiest in the height,
and in the depth be praise;
in all his words most wonderful,
most sure in all his ways. Scripture: 1 Samuel 2:1-10 Used With Tune: GERONTIUS
