This Is My Father's World - Music Ministry by Music Director Tim Redding

"This Is My Father's World"
 (tune: TERRA BEATA, traditional English folk tune; arranged by Bill Wolaver)

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.

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.
 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 earth be glad!
