92. This is My Father’s World

D          A7       D          G     D         A
This is my Father’s world, And to my listening ears,

A7  D      A          A7       D               A  A7  D
All nature sings, and round me rings the music of the spheres.

A7   D     G  A7     D        G              D
This is my Fa-ther’s world; I rest me in the thought

A7 D         A         A7        D                  A   A7   D
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas; His hand the won-ders wrought.


[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 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.

[Verse 2]
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.

[Verse 3]
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.
