The first time I heard this song was while watching a recording of Canada's first underground church service in April 2021. It was performed in a secret location in or near Edmonton. The RCMP had closed the building, but, as Pastor Coates said, the church is the community of believers, not a building.

I woke up singing this song yesterday. When I turned on KZbin, there you were with a beautiful band singing this wonderful song! Thank you. God bless.

[@cherihunter6317]

How beautiful! I am enjoying breakfast on my front porch this morning. The coolness of the morning and the serenade of the birds fill my heart. Your song added to my morning worship. Thank you!

[@bethtreacy5146]

That's exactly what I am doing now as well. God bless you and enjoy this morning gift from our Heavenly Father 🙏❤☀

[@riajoseph2510]

[@itaidaresit3919]

The Rhyming is fascinatingly beautiful and magnetic.

[@judithwherry648]

Young hearts, beautiful faces. Old songs, beautiful message.

[@rashida2469]

I only hear this song children CDs lol But I'm so glad to hear it again with a worship band, beautiful rendition! Amazing! ✝️ what joy this brought to my heart! "This my Father's world, would should my heart be sad?"🎵🎶

[@GrandmasGoneGamingLW]

Oh, wow! I hadn't heard this in a LONG time! Don't know how I missed it a year ago, but I'm glad to find it now. Thank you! 😀

[@simontimothy1599]

Oh! What a song! I love these people (Norton Hall Band) singing these songs from their hearts! Praise be unto God!

[@UnderHisWing7]

Beautiful! Jesus who died, shall be satisfied, and earth and heaven be one. Kingdom of heaven come! May Your will be done! 👑 Dan 7:14. The earth is His inheritance and all will be one under Christ! Praise God for this victory! Heaven on earth! The original songs last words were not included. These words are so important to speak of His power over His inheritance of the physical earth. The knowledge of the glory if the Lord will cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. ⚔️

[@wisdom6965]

So beautiful praise!!! I crush on your voice.God bless you!!

[@Freespirit555]

Really awesome, very anointed

VERSE 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. VERSE 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. VERSE 3 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: Why should my heart be sad? The Lord is King: let the heavens ring! God reigns; let earth be glad!

[@pigpink1971]

Beautiful version of the song. Thank you. ❤️❤️❤️

[@amiller5885]

This is one of my favorite versions of this song 🎵.

[@NickLAnderson]

Hi. 🙂 Please, let us pray together. Dear God who art in heaven hallow be thy name thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

[@runwillrobinson]

Thanks for reminding me of this old wise song. I will be using it in my prayers!

Written by a wealthy young man/world class athlete who would run and rejoice daily at the AWESOME NATURE created by his HEAVENLY FATHER and caused the wise young man to answer the call to preach/teach the BODY OF CHRIST what TRUE RICHES REALLY ARE….moved greatly by this song as a 5th grader and never realized that THE SAME HEAVENLY FATHER would call me to preach/teach HIS GLORIOUS GOSPEL to a hurting lonely confused world…All that pain was carried on the cross of KING JESUS,WHO took it all on HIS MANLY SHOULDERS 200O PLUS YEARS AGO.DR.BRYANT LANE

[@davidshaka4536]

Sandra Umuhoza. Amakuru. How do you know this choir.

[@freshcoffee4871]

I enjoyed this; however the last two lines are a watered down version of the traditional hymn. “This is my Father’s World! The battle is not done; Jesus who died shall be satisfied, and earth and Heav’n be one.”

[@mwesterholm]

You're right! I'm not sure why we didn't do the others. But I might not label the lyrics we sang "watered down." < NHB

[@rachelwelk9573]

Wait...I'm pretty sure THAT part you quoted was added much, much later.

[@smackamoe]

I agree. The hope that carries us is the return to God's perfect creation of earth and heaven being one.

[@vilmarojas693]

watered down is not a the right word, its called revised, but the message it the same.

[@sorchadonavan5266]

The revised was lovely, but watered down from the original is the correct description.

[@MrKaiza416]

At least, today I have listes that song 15 times. God ❤is great

[@heather5926]

Lovely. Praise God!

[@EazyEVM]

So beautiful!

[@wearingthearmorofgod2485]

Ditto on loving the music and Beautiful voices! Love that they are “resurrecting” hymns! So fun to play along with my guitar and capo. I agree it would be nice to have the lyrics but we can always download them and have a music sheet to sing along with this! Thanks again Norton Hall Band you guys are awesome! Any chance you could do trust and obey? Or greatest I faithfulness?

[@Mrjayden17789]

[@JonathanHiller]

I have loved this song ever since I heard the version of it that Amy Grant did on her Hymns CD years ago. I had never heard the song before that. This is a great version, too. It's just a great song.

Could you do a guitar tutorial for this song? 😊 Love the way the guitarist played it, would love to learn how to do it too!

Pięknie💕

[@nelzaretmusic]

❤

[@PiltdownSuperman]

This may seem unusual, but I am embedding this video in my latest article about Question Evolution Day.

[@elliottdmann]

Fantastic arrangement. Love the voice leading. Well done!

[@MegaPraiseHim]

Why not keep Jesus in the song? I like the last verse and this rendition, but why not also include the original version that says Jesus who died shall be satisfied and earth heaven be one.

[@teologia.missional]

O FINAL PARECE DIFERENTE DE OUTRAS VERSÕES!

[@randylugo3848]

Can someone please tell me how to pick the style of this guitar? Demo, slomo, tutorial, tabs anything please? Btw beautiful sound. Praise the Lord!!

[@simonliu9363]

what a beautiful version. I do have an urgent need of help when coming to the strumming pattern. I am wishing to play this song but can't really get the correct strumming, slapping and plucking that you do in this video, could you give me some more information or any other videos that might have a tutorial for that ? Thank you !

[@wearingthearmorofgod2485]

Most of our music is done is 440hz the devils chord. Lets create music using the healing frequency

[@prasanthkandula2930]
