Product Description

This is My Fathers World

piano solo arrangement by Stephen R Dalrymple

lyrics by Malthie Babcock with a traditional English melody adapted by Franklin Sheppard

Malthie Davenport Babcock, a pastor in upstate New York, was an athletic man who loved to walk near Lake Ontario and the Niagara Escarpment. He often told his wife that he was going out to see the Fathers world. This phrase prompted the title for one of his original poems. His wife published his poems after his death in 1901 (age 42.)

In 1915 Franklin Shepherd, his friend, adapted Babcocks poem and an English folk tune to create the hymn. Shepherd named the melody TERRA BEATA (Blessed Earth).

The original folk tune appears in the opening notes of the Shire Theme by Howard Shore in the Lord of the Rings Film Series.

The last stanza used in this video is seldom found in hymnbooks. But there is a delightful idea here that since Jesus Christ was incarnated on the earth, the entire earth is holy ground.
