Author: Maltbie D. Babcock; Mary Babcock Crawford Hymnal: Ecumenical Praise #108 (1977) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 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.
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.
3 This is our Father's world,
O let us not forget
That though the wrong is great and strong,
God is our Father yet.
He trusts us with His world,
To keep it clean and fair,
All earth and trees, all skies and seas,
All creatures everywhere. Topics: The Goodness and Providence of God Languages: English Tune Title: MERCER STREET
