Composed by Penny Rodriguez. Epiphany House. Concert, General Worship, Hymn, Sacred. Octavo. Epiphany House Publishing #EH1085. Published by Epiphany House Publishing (HL.2123421).
UPC: 196288397144.
Penny Rodriguez breathes new life into a beloved childhood hymn, drawing inspiration from the remarkable story behind its words. Known for his reflective hikes through upstate New York, lyricist, Maltbie Babcock, would often tell his wife he was “going out to see the Father's world” - a phrase that would later echo through generations in song. Originally written as a 16-stanza poem, the piece was later condensed into the familiar three-verse hymn by Franklin L. Sheppard, whose melody became widely cherished. Yet one poignant line - “This is my Father's world: why should my heart be sad?” -is often omitted from modern hymnals. This new setting boldly restores that lyric, embracing its emotional depth and the humanity behind it. Aware of Babcock's personal struggles with mental illness, Rodriguez preserves the line as a testament to hope, healing, and the restorative power of nature. The result is a moving, contemplative piece that invites listeners to rediscover both the beauty of the world and the peace that can be found within it.
