Author: Karolina W. Sandell-Berg; Ernest W. Olson Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #13287 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 Praise the Lord in joyful numbers:
Your protector never slumbers;
At the will of your defender
Every foeman must surrender.
5 Though He giveth or He taketh,
God His children ne’er forsaketh;
His the loving purpose solely
To preserve them pure and holy. Languages: English Tune Title: TRYGGARE KAN INGEN VARA
