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

Couplet 2

This is my Father's world
I rest here in the thought
Of rocks and trees
Of skies and seas
His hand the wonders brought

Refrain

He reigns He reigns
Forever on the throne
He reigns He reigns
This is my Father's world

Couplet 3

This is my Father's world
The birds their carols raise
The morning light
The lily white
Declare their Maker's praise

Couplet 4

This is my Father's world
He shines in all that's fair
In rustling grass
I hear Him pass
Oh He's speaking everywhere

Refrain

He reigns He reigns
Forever on the throne
He reigns He reigns
This is my Father's world

Couplet 5

This is my Father's world
So let me not forget
That though the wrong
Seems often strong
God is the Ruler yet

Couplet 6

This is my Father's world
Why should my heart be sad
He is the King
Let heaven sing
And let the Earth be glad

Refrain

He reigns He reigns
Forever on the throne
He reigns He reigns
This is my Father's world
