This Is My Father's World


By: Maltbie D. Babcock


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,

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;

Why should my heart be sad?

The Lord is King; let the heavens ring!

God reigns; let the earth be glad.
