Nashville Kids' Sound - This Is My Father's World / For The Beauty Of The Earth Lyrics

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. The battle is not done.
Jesus who died shall be satisfied and earth and heaven be one.

Jesus who died shall be satisfied and earth and heaven be one.

For the beauty of the earth, for the glory of the skies,
For the love which from our birth over and around us lies,
Lord of all, to Thee we raise this, our hymn of grateful praise.

For the wonder of each hour of the day and of the night,
Hill and vale and tree and flower, sun and moon and stars of light,
Lord of all, to Thee we raise this, our hymn of grateful praise.

For the joy of human love, brother, sister, parent, child,
Friends on earth and friends above, for all gentle thoughts and mild,
Lord of all, to Thee we raise this, our hymn of grateful praise.
