This order is My Mother's (Father's) World - papercut artwork

Delicate papercut artwork, using the text of the United Methodist Hymnal #144, "This is My Father's World," text by Maltbie D. Babcock. The text set here is from the first stanza:

"This is my Father's world;
And to my listening ears,
All nature sings
And round me rings
The music of the spheres."

Following the version of Aoife O'Donovan singing with the Dave Douglas Quintet, I include both Mother and Father.

The full first and second stanzas of the original text read:

This is my Father's world,
And to my listening ears
All nature sings, and round me rings
The music of order 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.
