This Is My Father's World


D               A             D                G       D            A
This is my Father's world, and to my listening ears
      D                                                                       A         D
All nature sings, and round me rings the music of the spheres
                  G             D          G           A        D
This is my Father's world:  I rest me in the thought
                                                                                         A             D
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas, His hand the wonders wrought.


D                A            D               G               D        A
This is my Father's world, the birds their carols raise,
        D                                                                  A            D
The morning light, the lily white, declare their Makers praise.
                  G             D              G             A            D
This is my Father's world: He shines in all that's fair.
                                                                                       A              D
In the rustling grass I hear Him pass, He speaks to me everywhere.


D                A            D            G         D           A     
This is my Father's world, O let me ne'er forget
         D                                                                                 A        D
That though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the Ruler yet.
                  G             D               G        A        D
This is my Father's world: The battle is not done.
                                                                                    A                 D
Jesus who died shall be satisfied, and earth and heaven be one.
