Children of the Heavenly Father

Children of the heav'nly Father
Safely in His bosom gather
Nestling bird nor star in heaven
Such a refuge e'er was given

God His own doth tend and nourish
In His holy courts they flourish
From all evil things He spares them
In His mighty arms He bears them

Neither life nor death shall ever
From the Lord His children sever
Unto them His grace He showeth
And their sorrows all He knoweth

Tho' He giveth or He taketh
God His children ne'er forsaketh
His the loving purpose solely
To preserve them pure and holy

His the loving purpose solely
To preserve them pure and holy
