Lyrics:

This Is my Father's World / For The Beauty Of The Earth

Verse 1
This is my Father's world, and to my listening ears...
All nature sings - and round me rings - the music of the spheres

Verse 2
This is my Father's world - The birds their carols raise
The morning light the lily white declare their Maker's praise

Chorus 1
This is my Father's world - He shines in all that's fair
In rustling grass, i hear Him pass - He speaks to me everywhere
He speaks to me - He speaks to me...everywhere

Verse 3
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
God is the Ruler yet

Chorus 2
This is my Father's world - The battle is not done
Jesus who died shall be satisfied, and earth and heaven be one

Bridge
For the beauty of the earth - For the beauty of the skies
For the Love which from our birth over and around us lies
Christ, our God, to Thee we raise this our hymn of joyful praise

Chorus 3
This is my Father's world - The battle is not done
Jesus who died shall be satisfied, and earth and heaven be one
And earth and heaven be one

Lyrics: This Is my Father's World

Verse 1
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 & trees of skies & seas - His hand the wonders wrought

Verse 2
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

Verse 3
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 & heaven be one

For the beauty of the earth - For the beauty of the skies
For the Love which from our birth over and around us lies
Father, unto Thee we raise this our hymn of grateful praise

For the beauty of each hour of the day and of the night
Hill & vale and tree & flower - Sun & moon & stars of Light
LORD of all, to Thee we raise this our sacrifice of praise

For the joy of ear and eye - For the heart and mind's delight
For the mystic harmony - Linking sense to sound & sight
Father, unto 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
Father, unto Thee, we raise this our sacrifice of praise
