This is my Father’s world
Representative text
As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 92.
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.
