This is my Father’s world:

O let me ne’er forget

That though the world 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 earth be glad!

Amen and Amen!

Thank you, Jen.

That hymn is one I learned in a church kids’ group. I think I know 90% of those words.

I’m Canadian but have been praying for the focus to be on love God and love your neighbour.

🙏🙏🙏

Thank you for that rescripting of the Lord's Prayer and this--"Then, we’ll have to learn to live together again."
