[Verse 1]
     D     A        D    D
This is my Father's world,
    G     D         A    A
and to my listening ears
    D      D          G     A  Bm
all nature sings, and round me rings
    D      A     D       D
the music of the spheres.
     D     G A      D     D
This is my Father's world:
   G      A      D      G
I rest me in the thought
   D         D         G     A   Bm
of rocks and trees, of skies and seas;
    D        A       D
his hand the wonders wrought.

the morning light, the lily white,

in the rustling grass I hear Him pass;
