(Sent straight from This is certainly My Father's Planet)
'This is certainly My Dad's Globe'is certainly a well-known Religious hymn created by Maltbie Davénport Babcock, a ministér from New Yórk, and published posthumously in 1901.
Background edit
Whén Rev. Babcock lived in Lockport, New York, he required frequent walks along the Niágara Escarpment to appreciate the neglect's panoramic vista of upstate New York surroundings and River Ontario, telling his spouse Katherine he was 'heading out to see the Father's worId'.1He died in 1901 at age group 42. Quickly after his dying Katherine published a collection of Babcock's writings permittedThoughts for Every-Day Residingthat contained the composition 'My Father's Planet'.2The unique poem contained sixteen stanzas of four lines each.3The poem was set to music in 1915 by Franklin L. Sheppard, a close buddy of Babcock. The track name, TERRA BEATA, indicates “blessed éarth” in Látin.4Sheppard adapted the songs from a traditional English tune that he learned from his mom as a kid.5
Lyricsedit
Maltbie Deb. Babcóck
Whén sung as á hymn Babcóck's poem usually is compacted to three to six verses, with each verse matching to two stánzas in the composition. An instance (from théUnited Méthodist Hymnal) uses stanzas 2-5, 14, and 16:
This can be my Dad's worId,
And tó my hearing ears
All character sings, and rounded me rings
The music of the sphéres.
This is my Father's world:
I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees and shrubs, of skies and seas;
His hands the miracles wrought.
This is my Father's world,
The birds their carols increase,
The morning lighting, the lily white,
Declare their creator's praise.
This can be my Dad's world,
He shines in all that'h fair;
In the rustling lawn I hear him pass;
He talks to me all over the place.
This is definitely my Fathér's worId.
O allow me ne'er forget
That though the wrong seems oft therefore solid,
God can be the ruler however.
This is usually my Fathér's worId:
why shouId my heart be depressing?
The Lord is Full; allow the heavens ring!
God reigns; allow the earth be happy!6
And tó my hearing ears
All character sings, and rounded me rings
The music of the sphéres.
This is my Father's world:
I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees and shrubs, of skies and seas;
His hands the miracles wrought.
This is my Father's world,
The birds their carols increase,

Declare their creator's praise.
This can be my Dad's world,
He shines in all that'h fair;
In the rustling lawn I hear him pass;
He talks to me all over the place.

God can be the ruler however.
This is usually my Fathér's worId:
why shouId my heart be depressing?
The Lord is Full; allow the heavens ring!
God reigns; allow the earth be happy!6
The poem relates to many scriptures, including Jacob's exclamation 'the Lord will be in this place' from Genesis 28:16 and the rockfall, earthquake, and still small tone of voice of 1 Kings 19:11-12, and the last stanza concludes by paraphrasing PsaIm 96:10-11.
Some hymnals adhere to the 1915 environment in finishing with the 15th stanza instead: 'This is certainly my Fathér's world. Thé fight is not really done. Christ who passed away shall end up being satisfied, and world and heav'n be oné.'
