Children of Our Heavenly Father Lyrics and Accompaniment

Children of Our Heavenly Father

Children of the Heavenly Father

Safely in His bosom gather;

Nestling bird nor star in heaven

Such a refuge e’er was given.

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.

Neither life nor death shall ever

From the Lord His children sever;

Unto them His grace He showeth,

And their sorrows all He knoweth.

Though He giveth or He taketh,

God His children ne’er forsaketh;

His the loving purpose solely

To preserve them pure and holy.

Lo, their very hairs He numbers,

And no daily cares encumbers

Them that share his every blessing

And His help in woes distressing.

Praise the Lord in joyful numbers:

Your protector never slumbers.

At the will of your Defender

Every foeman must surrender.

Words: Karolina W. Sandell Berg, 1858

Translation from Swedish to English: Ernst W. Olson
