The music currently playing is Terra Beata, a traditional English melody adapted by Franklin Lawrence Sheppard (1852-1930), an American musician who served both the Episcopal and Presbyterian churches in his life time. The melody is synonymous with the hymn text This is God's Wondrous (my Father's) World by another American Presbyterian, Maltie Davenport Babcock (1858-1901). Babcock served the church as an ordained minister. His first pastoral charge was at Lockport on the south shore of Lake Ontario, where he would often walk along the shore saying "I'm going out to see my Father's world." The hymn is a favourite of children and adults alike as a celebration of God's creation.
