Sing Praise Unto The Lord

 Children Of The Heavenly Father

1. Children of the heavenly Father

Safely in His bosom 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 courts 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 foeman 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.
