  참 아름다워라

This Is My Father’s World

 

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,

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.

O let me ne'er forget

The Lord is King; let the heavens ring!

God reigns; let the earth be glad!
