This is My Father’s World
This hymn was composed as a 16 stanza poem by Maltbie Davenport Babcock sometime in the late 1800’s. It was inspired by his early morning walks, which he called “going out to be in my Father’s world.” It was first published in 1901, after Babcock’s death.
The world of nature, though marred by sin, still has so much to teach us about our God. Try and get out and see more of His world this week.
This is My Father’s World
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
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.
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.
