Children of the heav'nly Father, Safely in his bosom gather; Nesting bird nor star in Heaven Such a refuge e'er was given. 2. God his own does 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 is showing, And their sorrows all is knowing. 4. Lo, their very hairs he numbers, And no daily care encumbers Those who share his ev'ry blessing, And his help in woes distressing. 5. Praise the Lord in joyful numbers; Your protector never slumbers; At the will of your Defender, Every rival must surrender. 6. God has given, he has taken, But his child is ne’er forsaken; His the loving purpose solely To preserve us, pure and holy. Scripture: 1 John 3:1 Used With Tune: TRYGGARE KAN INGEN VARA
