Author: Carolina Sandell Berg, 1832-1903; Ernst W. Olsen, 1870-1958 Hymnal: One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism #111 (2018) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Children of the heav'nly Father Lyrics: 1 Children of the heav'nly Father
Safely in His bosom gather;
Nestling bird nor star in heaven
Such a refuge e’er was given.
2 God His own shall tend and nourish;
In His holy courts they flourish.
From all evil pow'rs He spares them;
In his mighty arms He bears them.
3 Neither life nor death shall ever
From the Lord His children sever;
For to them His grace revealing,
He turns sorrow into healing.
4 God has given, He has taken,
but His children ne’er forsaken;
His the loving purpose solely
To preserve them pure and holy. Topics: The Assembly at Worship Grace, Mercy, Assurance; Faithfulness of God; Goodness of God; Grace of God; Love Of God; Power of God; Providence of God; God Refuge; Healing; Holiness; Refuge Languages: English Tune Title: TRYGGARE KAN INGEN VARA
