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

Instrumental: F G C 

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. 

Instrumental: F G C 

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:   
why should my heart be sad?   
The Lord is King; let the heavens ring!   
God reigns; let the earth be glad!
