For the Beauty of the Earth / This Is My Father’s World

Lyrics

For the Beauty of the Earth [Verse 1] 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 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 and trees Of skies and 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 Oh, 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 [Verse 4] This is my Father's world The battle is not done Jesus who died shall be satisfied And earth and heaven be one This is my Father's world The battle is not done Jesus who died shall be satisfied And earth and heaven be one
