Honey Out of the Rock ‎#85

85. God Loves His Own

1 God loves His own as the shepherd His sheep!
Faithful is He from all danger to keep;
With His almighty arm He will uphold,
Shield them and carry them safe to the fold.

Refrain:
Sing hallelujah, the tidings proclaim!
Let ev’ry thing that hath breath, praise His name!
Tell the glad story again and again,
God loves His own, hallelujah! Amen!

2 God loves His own—what a glorious thought!
For by the blood of His Son we were bought;
In His pavilion we safely may hide,
Under His wing may securely abide. [Refrain]

3 God loves His own! oh, ye nations awake!
For, as He lives, He will never forsake.
He’ll be a friend when all others have flown,—
Praise Him forever, He loveth His own. [Refrain]
