Sheet music
- 1Children of the heav’nly FatherSafely in His bosom gather;Nestling bird nor star in heavenSuch a refuge e’er was given.Neither life nor death shall everFrom the Lord His children sever;Unto them His grace He showeth,And their sorrows all He knoweth.
- 2Though He giveth or He taketh,God His children ne’er forsaketh;His the loving purpose solelyTo preserve them pure and holy.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.
