and to my listening ears
C Am F G C
all nature sings , and round me rings

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!
