This Is My Father’s World (verse 1) 144 WORDS: Maltbie D. Babcock, 1901 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.

This Is My Father’s World (Verse 2) 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.

This Is My Father’s World (Verse 3) 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: why should my heart be sad 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!

*Father’s Day Prayer God our Father, bless all the fathers in the world. Guide them to be good role models and loving to all their children. Help them to be a father like You are. Give them grace and patience to handle every situation in a loving way. Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

When in Our Music God Is Glorified (Verse 1) *How Can I Keep from Singing TFWS 2212 My life flows on in endless song, above earth’s lamentation. I hear the clear, though far-off hymn that hails a new creation

No storm can shake my in-most calm while to that Rock I’m clinging, Since love is Lord of heaven and earth, how can I keep from singing?

When in Our Music God Is Glorified (Verse 1) What though my joys and comforts die? I know my Savior liveth. What though the darkness gather round? Songs in the night he giveth.

When in Our Music God Is Glorified (Verse 1) The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart, a fountain ever springing! All things are mine since I am his! How can I keep from singing?
