Author: Maltbie D. Babcock Hymnal: Baptist Hymnal 1991 #43 (1991) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Hymnal Title: Baptist Hymnal 1991 Lyrics: 1. This is my Father's world,
And to my list'ning 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.
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 ev'ry-where.
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,
The battle is not done;
Jesus who died shall be satisfied,
And earth and heaven be one. Scripture: Genesis 1:1 Languages: English Tune Title: TERRA PATRIS
