Children of Our Heavenly Father
Hymns, 299
1. Children of our Heav’nly FatherSafely in his bosom gather;Nestling bird nor star in heavenSuch a refuge e’er was given.
2. Neither life nor death shall everFrom the Lord his children sever;Unto them his grace he showeth,And their sorrows all he knoweth.
3. Though he giveth or he taketh,God his children ne’er forsaketh;His the loving purpose solelyTo preserve them pure and holy.
