218f. The Child of a King

1 My Father is rich
In houses and lands,
He holdeth the wealth
Of the world in his hands!
Of rubies and diamonds,
Of silver and gold
His coffers are full,
He has riches untold!

Chorus:
I'm the child of a King!
The child of a King!
With Jesus, my Saviour,
I'm the child of a King.

2 A tent or a cottage,
Why should I care?
They're building a palace
For me over there.
Though exiled from home,
Yet still I may sing:
"All glory to God,
I'm the child of a King." [Chorus]
