This Is My Father's World

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

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.
