This is my Father's world, And to my listenin' 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 mighty hand has wrought This is my Father's world, Should my heart be ever sad? The Lord is King, let the heavens ring Let all the earth be glad. This is my Father's world The birds their carols raise The morning light, the lilies white Declare their Maker's praise This is my Father's world, Should my heart be ever sad? The Lord is King, let the heavens ring Let all the earth be glad. This is my Father's world, From shining courts above He sent His Son, the Beloved One A pledge of deathless love 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 Should my heart be ever sad? The Lord is King, let the heavens ring... Let all the earth be glad.
