THIS IS MY FATHER’S WORLD

This is my Father’s world,
And to my list’ning 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.

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.

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 heav’n be one.
Jesus who died shall be satisfied,
And earth and heav’n be one.

COME BEHOLD THE WONDROUS MYSTERY

Come behold the wondrous mystery,
in the dawning of the King.
He the theme of heaven’s praises;
robed in frail humanity.
In our longing, in our darkness,
now the light of life has come.
Look to Christ, who condescended;
took on flesh to ransom us.

Come behold the wondrous mystery:
he the perfect Son of Man.
In his living, in his suffering
never trace nor stain of sin.
See the true and better Adam
come to save the hell-bound man.
Christ the great and sure fulfillment
of the law; in him we stand.

Come behold the wondrous mystery:
Christ the Lord upon the tree.
In the stead of ruined sinners
hangs the Lamb in victory.
See the price of our redemption;
see the Father’s plan unfold.
Bringing many sons to glory;
grace unmeasured, love untold.

Come behold the wondrous mystery:
slain by death the God of life.
But no grave could e’er restrain him;
praise the Lord, he is alive!
What a foretaste of deliverance;
how unwavering our hope.
Christ in power resurrected
as we will be when he comes.
What a foretaste of deliverance;
how unwavering our hope.
Christ in power resurrected
as we will be when he comes.

JESUS, I AM RESTING

Jesus, I am resting, resting,
in the joy of what thou art;
I am finding out the greatness
of thy loving heart!
Thou hast bid me gaze upon thee,
as thy beauty fills my soul,
For by thy transforming power,
thou hast made me whole!

Oh, how great thy lovingkindness—
vaster, broader than the sea!
Oh, how marvelous thy goodness,
lavished all on me!
Yes, I rest in thee, Beloved—
know what wealth of grace is thine;
Know the certainty of promise,
and have made it mine!

Jesus, I am resting, resting,
in the joy of what thou art;
I am finding out the greatness
of thy loving heart!

Simply trusting thee, Lord Jesus,
I behold thee as thou art;
And thy love—so pure, so changeless—
satisfies my heart!
Satisfies its deepest longings;
meets supplies its ev’ry need;
And surrounding me with blessings—
thine is love indeed!   Chorus

Ever lift thy face upon me,
as I work and wait for thee;
Resting ‘neath thy smile, Lord Jesus,
Earth’s dark shadows flee!
Brightness of my Father’s glory,
sunshine of my Father’s face;
Keep me ever trusting, resting—
fill me with thy grace.   Chorus

WHO YOU SAY I AM

Who am I that the highest King
Would welcome me?
I was lost, but he brought me in—
Oh his love for me! Oh his love for me!

Whom the Son sets free, oh, is free indeed!
I’m a child of God—yes I am!

Free at last—he has ransomed me!
His grace runs deep!
While I was a slave to sin,
Jesus died for me! Oh he died for me!

Whom the Son sets free, oh, is free indeed!
I’m a child of God—yes I am!
In my Father’s house there’s a place for me!
I’m a child of God—yes I am!

I am chosen, not forsaken;
I am who you say I am!
You are for me, not against me;
I am who you say I am!
I am chosen, not forsaken;
I am who you say I am!
You are for me, not against me;
I am who you say I am! I am who you say I am!

Whom the Son sets free, oh, is free indeed!
I’m a child of God—yes I am!
In my Father’s house there’s a place for me!
I’m a child of God—yes I am!

In my Father’s house there’s a place for me!
I’m a child of God—yes I am!
