This is my Father’s world,
Eb Bb F
And to my list’ning ears

All nature sings, and round me rings

The music of the spheres.

Bb Eb Bb
This is my Father’s world:
Eb F Bb
I rest me in the thought
Bb F Gm
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas
Bb F Bb
His hand the wonders wrought.

This is my Father’s world:

The birds their carols raise,

The morning light, the lily white,
Bb F Bb
Declare their Maker’s praise.

This is my Father’s world:
Eb F Bb
He shines in all that’s fair;

Bb F Gm
In the rustling grass I hear Him pass,
Bb F Bb
He speaks to me everywhere.
Bb F Bb
This is my Father’s world:

Oh, let me ne’er forget

That though the wrong seems oft so strong,

This is my Father’s world,
Eb F Bb
The battle is not done:
Bb F Gm
Jesus who died shall be satisfied,
Bb F Bb
And earth and Heav’n be one
