101 – Children of the Heavenly Father

1

Children of the heavenly

Father Safely in His bossom 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 love 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 foe-man 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.
