Hymns to help us through: “This Is My Father’s World”

For a time such as this...

“This Is My Father’s World”

Tune: Terra Beata

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!

Blessings, my friends!
