92. This is My Father’s World

Eb         Bb7      Eb         Ab    Eb        Bb
This is my Father’s world, And to my listening ears,

Bb7 Eb     Bb         Bb7      Eb              Bb Bb7 Eb
All nature sings, and round me rings the music of the spheres.

Bb7  Eb    Ab Bb7    Eb       Ab             Eb
This is my Fa-ther’s world; I rest me in the thought

Bb7 Eb       Bb        Bb7       Eb                 Bb  Bb7  Eb
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas; His hand the won-ders wrought.


[[Full Lyrics]]

[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.
