Representative lyrics
Swedish (Original Language)
1. Tryggare kan ingen vara än Guds lilla barnaskara, stjärnan ej på himlafästet, fägeln ej i kända nästet.
2. Herren sina trogna vårdar uti Sions helga gårdar; över dem han sig förbarmar, bär dem uppå fadersarmar.
3. Ingen nöd och ingen lycka skall utur hans hand dem rycka. Han, vår vän för andra vänner, sina barns bekymmer känner.
4. Vad han tar och vad han giver, samme Fader han dock bliver, och hans mål är blott det ena: barnets sanna väl allena.
English
1. Children of our Heav’nly Father Safely in his bosom gather; Nestling bird nor star in heaven Such a refuge e’er was given.
2. Neither life nor death shall ever From 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 solely To preserve them pure and holy.
