Children Of The Heavenly Father Lyrics
Children of the Heavenly Father Safely in His bosom gather Nestling bird nor star in heaven Such a refuge e'er was given
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
Neither life nor death shall ever From the Lord His children sever Unto them His grace He showeth And their sorrows all He knoweth
Though He giveth or He taketh God His children ne'er forsaketh His the loving purpose solely To preserve them pure and holy
Lo their very hairs He numbers And no daily care encumbers Them that share His ev'ry blessing And His help in woes distressing
Praise the Lord in joyful numbers Your Protector never slumbers At the will of your Defender Ev'ry foeman must surrender
Song Description: "'Children ofthe Heavenly Father' is an old hymn that my friend Robert, a single father of three girls, sings each night at bedtime to his daughters. I respect so much how he is pointing his girls in the direction of the church, and using this song as one of those tools. The lyric poetically captures a side of God's love for his children that paints such a picture of peace." - Plumb
