「17」This is My Father's World天父世界歌
Maltbie D.Babcock 1901
巴布科克 词1901
万山美贞 译
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；Oh, let me never 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.
（A–men）
1.这是天父世界，孩童侧耳要听，宇宙唱歌四围响应，星辰作乐同声。这是天父世界，我心满有安宁；树木花草，苍天碧海，述说天父全能。
2.这是天父世界，小鸟长翅飞鸣；清晨明亮，好花美丽，证明天理精深。这是天父世界，他爱普及万千；风吹之草，将他表现，天父充满世间。
3.这是天父世界，求主叫我不忘，罪恶虽然好像得胜，天父却仍掌管。这是天父世界，我心不必忧伤；上帝是王，天地同唱，歌声充满万方。
（阿们）
