VERSE1
Children of the heav'nly Father, safely in His bosom gather
Nestling bird nor star in heaven, such a refuge e'er was given
VERSE2
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
s2
VERSE3
Neither life nor death shall ever, from the Lord His children sever
Unto them His grace He showeth, and their sorrows all He knoweth
VERSE4
Though He giveth or He taketh, God His children ne'er forsaketh
His the loving purpose solely, to preserve them pure and holy
s2
VERSE5
Lo, their very hairs He numbers, and no daily care encumbers
Them that share His ev'ry blessing, and His help in woes distressing
VERSE6
Praise the Lord in joyful numbers, your Protector never slumbers
At the will of your Defender, ev'ry foeman must surrender
INTERLUDE/SOLO
VERSE7
Children of the heav'nly Father, safely in His bosom gather
Nestling bird nor star in heaven, such a refuge e'er was given.
