26: This Is My Father's World Beer & Hymns

Verse 1 (sung at the beginning)

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 (sung at the end)

This is our Father's world:

O let us not forget

That though the wrong is great and strong,

God is the Ruler yet.

He trusts us with his world

to keep it clean and fair

All earth and trees, all skies and seas

All creatures everywhere

Verse 3

This is my Father’s world:

God shines in all that’s fair;

In rustling grass I hear him pass

He speaks to me everywhere.

This is my Father's world:

Why should my heart be sad?

The Lord is King: let heaven ring!

God reigns; let earth be glad!
