468 A Child of the King

[1]
My Father is rich in houses and lands;
He holdeth the wealth of the world in His hands!
Of rubies and diamonds of silver and gold
His coffers are full; He has riches untold.

[C]
I m a child of the King a child of the King!
With Jesus my Savior I m a child of the King!

[2]
My Father s own Son the Savior of men
Once wandered on earth as the poorest of them;
But now He is pleading for sinners on high
And will give me a home when He comes by and by.

[C]
I m a child of the King a child of the King!
With Jesus my Savior I m a child of the King!

[3]
I once was an outcast a stranger on earth
A sinner by choice and an alien by birth!
But I ve been adopted my name s written down
An heir to a mansion a robe and a crown.

[C]
I m a child of the King a child of the King!
With Jesus my Savior I m a child of the King!

[4]
A tent or a cottage O why should I care?
They re building a palace for me over there!
Though exiled from home yet still I may sing:
"All glory to God I m a child of the King."

[C]
I m a child of the King a child of the King!
With Jesus my Savior I m a child of the King!
