And	to my listen	ing e	ars

All n	ature si	ngs and r	ound m	e r	ings

	D	A7	D
The m	usic	of the sph	eres.

This	is my F	ath	er's w	orld;

	G	D
I r	est me in the th	ought

	Of r	ocks and tr	ees, of sk	ies a	nd s	eas

	D	A7	D
His h	and the w	onders wro	ught.

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.

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 heaven be one.

This is my Father's world,

Dreaming, I see His face.

I open my eyes, and in glad surprise cry,

“The Lord is in this place.”

This is my Father's world,

From the shining courts above,

The Beloved One, His Only Son,

Came a pledge of deathless love.

This is my Father's world,

Should my heart be ever sad?

The lord is King let the heavens ring.

God reigns let the earth be glad.

This is my Father's world.

Now closer to Heaven bound,

For dear to God is the earth Christ trod.

No place but is holy ground.

This is my Father's world.

I walk a desert lone.

In a bush ablaze to my wondering gaze

God makes His glory known.

This is my Father's world,

A wanderer I may roam

Whate'er my lot, it matters not,

My heart is still at home.
