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
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
Why should my heart be sad?
The Lord is King
Let the heavens ring
God reigns, let earth be glad
This is my Father's world
Though soiled by our sin
Creation groans
For God alone
Can liberate us from within
This is my Father's world
And so He sent His Son
By grace through faith
Our lives to save
And sanctify until He's done
This is my Father's world
And all will be made new
Our darkest days
Will pass away
And He will make His dwelling place
Our darkest days
Will pass away
And He will make His dwelling place
