This is my Father's world
Author: Rev. Maltbie D. Babcock Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 316 hymnals Topics: God the Father God in Nature; God Nature, His Glory in; Nature Services Lyrics: 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.
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.
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:
The battle is not done;
Jesus who died shall be satisfied,
And earth and heaven be one.
Amen. Used With Tune: TERRA PATRIS

All things bright and beautiful,
all creatures great and small,
all things wise and wonderful,
the Lord God made them all.

each little bird that sings,
he made their glowing colors,
he made their tiny wings. [Refrain]
2 The purple-headed mountain,
the river running by,
the sunset and the morning
that brightens up the sky. [Refrain]
3 The cold wind in the winter,
the pleasant summer sun,
the ripe fruits in the garden,
he made them, ev'ry one. [Refrain]
4 The tall trees in the greenwood,
the meadows where we play,
the flowers by the water
we gather ev'ry day. [Refrain]

and lips that we might tell
how great is God Almighty,
who has made all things well. [Refrain]

All Nature's Works His Praise Declare
Author: Henry Ware, Jr. Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 39 hymnals Topics: God Nature, in; Nature Lyrics: 1 All nature's works His praise declare,
To whom they all belong;
There is a voice in every star,
In every breeze a song.
Sweet music fills the world abroad
With strains of love and power;
The stormy sea sings praise to God,
The thunder and the shower.
2 To God the tribes of ocean cry,
And birds upon the wing;
To God the powers that dwell on high
Their tuneful tribute bring.
Like them, let man the throne surround,
With them loud chorus raise,
While instruments of loftier sound
Assist his feeble praise.
3 Great God, to Thee we consecrate
Our voices and our skill;
We bid the pealing organ wait
To speak alone Thy will.
Lord, while the music round us floats
May earth-born passions die;
O grant its rich and swelling notes
May lift our souls on high!
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 24:1 Used With Tune: BETHLEHEM

ruler of all nature,
O thou of God and man the Son,
thee will I cherish,
thee will I honor,
thou, my soul's glory, joy, and crown.
2 Fair are the meadows,
fairer still the woodlands,
robed in the blooming garb of spring:
Jesus is fairer,
Jesus is purer,
who makes the woeful heart to sing.
3 Fair is the sunshine,
fairer still the moonlight,
and all the twinkling starry host:
Jesus shines brighter,
Jesus shines purer
than all the angels heaven can boast.
4 Beautiful Savior!
Lord of all the nations!
Son of God and Son of Man!
Glory and honor,
praise, adoration,
now and forevermore be thine.

There is a God, all nature speaks
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 155 hymnals Topics: Works of God In Nature Lyrics: 1 There is a God, all nature speaks,
Through earth, and air, and seas, and skies,
See, from the clouds his glory breaks,
When the first beams of morning rise.
2 The rising sun, serenely bright,
O'er the wide world's extended frame,
Inscribes in characters of light,
His mighty Maker's glorious name.
3 Diffusing life, his influence spreads;
And health and plenty smile around;
And fruitful fields, and verdant meads,
Are with a thousand blessings crown'd.
4 Almighty Goodness, Power divine,
The fields and verdant meads display;
And bless the hand, which made them shine
With various charms profusely gay.
5 For mand and beast, here daily food,
In wide diffusive plenty grows;
And there for drink, the crystal flood
In streams sweet winding gently flows.
There is a God, all nature speaks

in the harvests we are sharing,
God's will is done.
