Hymn day: “Children of the Heavenly Father”

HYMN DAY! “Children of the Heavenly Father” was written by Carolina Sandell, known as the “Fanny Crosby of Sweden.” Ernst W. Olson translated the words to English. “God his children ne’er forsaketh…” That’s a promise to which we can cling.

1 Children of the heav’nly Father
safely in his bosom gather;
nestling bird nor star in heaven
such a refuge e’er was given.

2 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.

3 Neither life nor death shall ever
from the Lord his children sever;
unto them his grace he showeth,
and their sorrows all he knoweth.

4 Though he giveth or he taketh,
God his children ne’er forsaketh;
his the loving purpose solely
to preserve them pure and holy.
