Couplet 1

This is my father's world
And to my listening ears
All nature sings and round me rings
The music of the spheres

Refrain 1

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

Couplet 2

This is my father's world
The birds their carols raise
The morning light the lily white
Declare their maker's praise

Refrain 2

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

Couplet 3

This is my father's world
Oh let me never forget
That though the wrong
Seems oft so strong
God is the ruler yet

Refrain 3

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

Refrain 2

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

Refrain modifié

In the rustling grass
I hear him pass
He speaks to me everywhere
