My Father Is Rich In Houses and Lands

Author: Hattie E Buell Hymnal: The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal #232 (1999) Meter: 10.11.10.11 with refrain Refrain First Line: I'm the child of a King, the child of a King Lyrics: 1 My Father is rich in houses and land, 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. Refrain: I’m a child of a King, the child of a King: With Jesus my Saviour, I’m a child of a King. 2 My Father’s own Son, the Saviour from sin, Once wandered o'er earth as the poorest of men; But now He is reigning for ever on high, And will give me a home in heaven by and by. [Refrain] 3 I once was an outcast stranger on earth, A sinner by choice, an alien by birth! But I’ve been adopted, my name’s written down,– An heir to a mansion, a robe and a crown. [Refrain] 4 A tent or a cottage, why should I care? They’re building a palace for me over there! Tho' exiled from home, yet, still may I sing: All glory to God, I’m the child of a King. [Refrain] AMEN. Topics: Kingdomtide Languages: English Tune Title: [My Father is rich in houses and lands]
