Author: Maltbie D. Babcock Hymnal: BH2008 #46 (2008) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D 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. Topics: Creator; God, His Providence, Will; Praise, Adoration, Worship, Exaltation of God Languages: English Tune Title: TERRA PATRIS
