This Is My Father's World

Author: Maltbie D. Babcock; Mary Babcock Crawford Hymnal: SFL #95 (1995) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D 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.

His glories now we sing who died and reigns on high; he died, eternal life to bring, and lives that death may die. 3 Crown him the Lord of peace; his kingdom is at hand. From pole to pole let warfare cease and Christ rule every land! All hail, Redeemer, hail, for you have died for me. Your praise shall never, never fail throughout eternity.
