New Mass: Introduce “Alleluia”

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 and skies and seas; His hand the wonders wrought. 2. This is my Father's world; Oh, 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.
