This is my Fa ther’s world,
And to my lis t’ning ears
All na ture sings, and round me rings The mu sic of the spheres.
This is my Fa ther’s world:
I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas, His hand the won ders wrought.
This is my Fa ther’s world,
The birds their car ols raise,
The morn ing light, the lil y white, De clare their Mak er’s praise.
This is my Fa ther’s world:
He shines in all that’s fair;
In rus tling grass I hear Him pass, He hand the won ders wrought.
This speaks to me ev ’ry where.
This page shows “This Is My Father's World” by Maltbie D. Babcock in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of C at 90 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.
