1 This is my Fa\u00adther\u2019s world,
\nAnd to my list\u00aden\u00ading ears
\nAll na\u00adture sings, and round me rings
\nThe mu\u00adsic of the spheres.
\nThis is my Fa\u00adther\u2019s world:
\nI rest me in the thought
\nOf rocks and trees, of skies and seas;
\nHis hand the won\u00adders wrought.<\/p>\n
2 This is my Fa\u00adther\u2019s world,
\nThe birds their car\u00adols raise,
\nThe morn\u00ading light, the li\u00adly white,
\nDeclare their mak\u00ader\u2019s praise.
\nThis is my Fa\u00adther\u2019s world:
\nHe shines in all that\u2019s fair;
\nIn the rust\u00adling grass I hear Him pass;
\nHe speaks to me ev\u00adery\u00adwhere.<\/p>\n
3 This is my Fa\u00adther\u2019s world.
\nO let me ne\u2019er for\u00adget
\nThat though the wrong
\nSeems oft so strong,
\nGod is the rul\u00ader yet.
\nThis is my Fa\u00adther\u2019s world:
\nThe bat\u00adtle is not done:
\nJesus who died shall be sa\u00adtis\u00adfied,
\nAnd earth and Heav\u2019n be one.<\/p>\n
4 This is my Fa\u00adther\u2019s world, 5 This is my Fa\u00adther\u2019s world, 6 This is my Fa\u00adther\u2019s world.
\nDreaming, I see His face.
\nI ope my eyes, and in glad sur\u00adprise
\nCry, The Lord is in this place.<\/q>
\nThis is my Fa\u00adther\u2019s world,
\nFrom the shin\u00ading courts above,
\nThe Be\u00adlov\u00aded One, His only Son,
\nCame\u2014a pledge of death\u00adless love.<\/p>\n
\nShould my heart be ev\u00ader sad?
\nThe lord is King\u2014let the heav\u00adens ring.
\nGod reigns\u2014let the earth be glad.
\nThis is my Fa\u00adther\u2019s world.
\nNow clos\u00ader to Heav\u00aden bound,
\nFor dear to God is the earth Christ trod.
\nNo place but is ho\u00adly ground.<\/p>\n
\nI walk a des\u00adert lone.
\nIn a bush ablaze to my won\u00adder\u00ading gaze
\nGod makes His glo\u00adry known.
\nThis is my Fa\u00adther\u2019s world,
\nA wan\u00adder\u00ader I may roam;
\nWhate\u2019er my lot, it mat\u00adters not,
\nMy heart is still at home.<\/p>\n
