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!
This is my Father's world.
The battle is not done.
Jesus who died shall be satisfied,
and earth and heav'n be one.
The battle is not done.
Jesus who died shall be satisfied,
and earth and heav'n be one.
