This Is My Father's World
Author: Maltbie D. Babcock; Mary Babcock Crawford Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 321 hymnals Topics: Know Creation 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:
O let us not forget
that though the wrong is great and strong,
God is the ruler yet.
He trusts us with his world,
to keep it clean and fair--
all earth and trees, all skies and seas,
all creatures everywhere.
3 This is my Father's world:
he shines in all that's fair;
in rustling grass I hear him pass--
he speaks to me everywhere.
This is my Father's world:
why should my heart be sad?
The Lord is King, let heaven ring!
God reigns; let earth be glad.

Commit thou all thy griefs
Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 245 hymnals Topics: God the Father Knows our Wants Lyrics: 1 Commit thou all thy griefs
And ways into His hands,
To His sure truth and tender care,
Who earth and heaven commands,
Who points the clouds their course,
Whom winds and seas obey;
He shall direct thy wandering feet,
He shall prepare thy way.
2 Thou on the Lord rely,
So safe shalt thou go on;
Fix on His work thy steadfast eye,
So shall thy work be done.
No profit canst thou gain
By self-consuming care;
To Him commend thy cause; His ear
Attends the softest prayer.
3 Thy everlasting truth,
Father, Thy ceaseless love,
Sees all Thy children’s wants, and knows
What best for each will prove;
And whatsoe'er Thou will'st,
Thou dost, O King of kings
What Thy unerring wisdom chose,
Thy power to being brings.
4 Thou everywhere hast sway,
And all things serve Thy might;
Thy every act pure blessing is,
Thy path unsullied light.
When Thou arisest, Lord,
What shall Thy work withstand?
When all Thy children want Thou giv’st,
Who, who shall stay Thy hand?
5 Give to the winds thy fears;
Hope, and be undismayed;
God hears thy sighs and counts thy tears,
God shall lift up thy head.
Through waves and clouds and storms
He gently clears thy way;
Wait thou His time, so shall this night
Soon end in joyous day.
6 Still heavy is thy heart?
Still sink thy spirits down?
Cast off the weight, let fear depart,
And every care be gone.
What though thou rulest not?
Yet heaven and earth and hell
Proclaim, God sitteth on the throne
And ruleth all things well.
7 Leave to His sovereign sway
To choose and to command,
So shalt thou wondering own, His way
How wise, how strong His hand.
Far, far above thy thought
His counsel shall appear,
When fully He the work hath wrought
That caused thy needless fear.
8 Thou seest our weakness, Lord!
Our hearts are known to Thee:
O lift Thou up the sinking hand,
Confirm the feeble knee!
Let us in life, in death,
Thy steadfast truth declare,
And publish with our latest breath
Thy love and guardian care. Used With Tune: THESSALONICA

Who will but let himself be guided
Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: God the Father Knows our Wants Lyrics: 1 Who will but let himself be guided
Of God alone, in all his ways,
Shall strength receive, be well provided,
And safely led through evil days;
Who trusts in God's unchanging love,
Builds on the Rock that naught can move.
2 No anxious cares or bitter wailing
Can help afford, or give relief;
Within ourselves there's naught availing
To give us comfort in our grief;
Our burdens, trials, sorrow, pain,
Do but increase as we complain.
3 Wait on the Lord, my heart, in meekness
And cheerful hope; be thou content
To get whate'er thy Father's kindness
And all-discerning love hath sent;
Doubt not that all thy wants are known
To Him who chose thee for His own.
4 He knows when joyful hours are needed,
And sends them as He sees it meet;
When He through trials has succeeded
To make us free from all deceit,
Then cometh He all unaware
And makes us own His loving care.
5 Think not, when in the stress of trial,
That God hath cast thee off unheard,
That he whose hopes meet no denial
Must surely be of God preferred;
God never will forsake in need
The heart that trusts in Him indeed. Used With Tune: WHO WILL BUT LET HIMSELF BE GUIDED
