My Fathers World

F  G  C

C         G          C
This is my Father's world,
    F     C         G
and to my listening ears
    C        E         Am          F
all nature sings, and round me rings
    C      G     C
the music of the spheres.
     C      G     C
This is my Father's world:
   F      C        G
I rest me in the thought
   C            E        Am       F
of rocks and trees, of skies and seas;
    C        G       C
his hand the wonders wrought.

C           G        C
This is my Father's world,
     F           C      G
the birds their carols raise,
    C       E          Am   F
the morning light, the lily white,
   C          G       C
declare their maker's praise.
     C     G        C
This is my Father's world:
    F        C          G
he shines in all that's fair;
       C        E       Am       F
in the rustling grass I hear him pass;
   C         G       C
he speaks to me everywhere.

This is my Father's world.
  F      C     G
O let me ne'er forget
     C          E          Am       F
that though the wrong seems oft so strong,
    C       G     C
God is the ruler yet.
     C     G        C
This is my Father's world:
    F         C        G
why should my heart be sad?
    C        E            Am      F
The Lord is King; let the heavens ring!
    C               G       C
God reigns; let the earth be glad!
