Easter 2011

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 Fathers world,

I rest me in the thought

 Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas,

His hand, the wonders wrought.

 This is my Fathers world,

The birds, their carols raise,

 

The morning light, the lily white

Declare their makers praise.

 

This is my Fathers world,

He shines in all that's fair.

In the rustling grass I hear Him pass,
 

He speaks to me everywhere.

This is my Fathers world,

Oh, let me ne'er forget

That though the wrong seems oft so strong,

God is the ruler yet.

This is my Fathers world,

The battle is not done

 Jesus, who died, shall be satisfied

And earth and heaven be one
