Author: Caroline Sandell-Berg; Ernst Olsen Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns to the Living God #402 (2023) 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 doth tend and nourish;
in His holy courts they flourish.
From all evil things He spares them;
in His mighty arms He bears them.
3 Neither life nor death shall ever
from the Lord His children sever;
unto them His grace He showeth,
and their sorrows all He knoweth.
4 Tho' He giveth or He taketh,
God His children ne’er forsaketh;
His the loving purpose solely
to preserve them pure and holy. Topics: Comfort, Death, and Glory Languages: English Tune Title: TRYGGARE KAN INGEN VARA
