lyrics

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 here in the thought
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas
His hand these wonders wrought

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 rustling grass, I hear Him pass
His voice is everywhere

When language fails and words fall short
I feel You here, among Your works
A thousand times a thousand years
Your people sought and found You here

This is my Father's world
O let me not forget
That though the wrong may seem so strong
God is the Ruler yet
This is my Father's world
Let what is lost be found
Help us to love what You have loved
All Earth is holy ground
