This is my Father’s world

The morning light, the lily white

Declare their Maker’s praise

In the rustling grass I hear Him pass

He speaks to me everywhere

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
