Don Richardson at University of the Nations, Kona




Don Richardson (born 1935) is a Canadian Christian missionary, teacher, author and international speaker who worked among the tribal people of Western New Guinea, Indonesia.[1] He argues in his writings that, hidden among tribal cultures, there are usually some practices or understandings, which he calls "redemptive analogies", which can be used to illustrate the meaning of the Christian Gospel, contextualizing the biblical representation of the incarnation of Jesus.

This is My Father's World - Hymn Lyrics (w/ Hindi Translation)


ENGLISH
This is my father's world
And to my listening ears
All nature sings, and round me rings
The music of the spheresThis 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
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
Oh, let me never 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 the earth be glad

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

In the rustling grass, I hear him pass
He speaks to me everywhere
HINDI
ये मेरा पिता का जहां
और मेरे सुनते कानों में
सारी कुदरत गाती झूमती है
सरगम वो रचना कीये मेरा पिता का जहां
पक्षियां भी गाती है
सुबह का तेज, और सोसन श्‍वेत
उसकी महिमा सुनाते है

ये मेरा पिता का जहां
मेरा मन अब चैन में है
की चट्टानें, पेड, समुद्र और गगन
उसके हाथों की अचरज है

ये मेरा पिता का जहां
मै कभी नही भूलूं ये
की चाहे दुष्‍ट अकसर लगते वीर
परमेश्‍वर शासक है

ये मेरा पिता का जहां
मेरा दिल क्‍यूं हो उदास
प्रभु राजा है, स्‍वर्ग गाती है
पृथ्‍वी मगन हो जाए

ये मेरा पिता का जहां
उसकी चमक हर भलाई में है
सरसराहट घास में गुजरते हुए
वह हर जगह मुझसे बोलता है

सरसराहट घास में गुजरते हुए
वह हर जगह मुझसे बोलता है
