10. My Father's World (Maltbie D. Babcock, 1901)

Different Good
by Homesick Prodigals
       
Lyrics:

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

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

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 earth be glad!
