Author: Carolina V. S. Berg Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #487 (1926) 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 Lo, their very hairs He numbers,
And no daily care encumbers
Them that share His every blessing,
And His help in woes distressing.
5 Praise the Lord in joyful numbers:
Your Protector never slumbers.
At the will of your Defender
Every foeman must surrender.
6 Though He giveth or He taketh,
God His children ne'er forsaketh,
His the loving purpose solely
To preserve them pure and holy.
Amen. Topics: Way of Salvation Sanctification; Faith and Trust Scripture: Matthew 10:30 Languages: English Tune Title: TRYGGARE KAN INGEN VARA
