This Is My Father's World

Verse:
A                     E/G#      F#m
This is my Father's world,
             D                   Esus  E
And to my listening ears
           A         E/G#          C#m      F#m
All nature sings, and round me rings
              D      Esus  E       A   D/A  A
The music of the spheres.

Chorus:
          A          E/G#       A
This is my Father's world
       D                           Esus  E
I rest me in the thought
          A                 E/G#    C#/F      F#m
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas
            D             Esus              A      
His hand the wonders wrought

Instrumental:
A  D/A  A  D/F#  E/G#

Verse 2:
This is my Father's world
The birds their carols raise,
The morning light, the lily white,
Declare their Maker's praise.

2 Chorus:
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:
O let me ne'er forget
That though the wrong seems oft so strong,
God is the Ruler yet.

3 Chorus:
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!

3 Chorus:
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!
