\nChildren of the heavenly Father
\nSafely in His bossom gather;
\nNestling bird nor star in heaven
\nSuch a refuge e’er was given.<\/p>\n
2
\nGod His own doth tend and nourish,
\nIn His holy love they flourish;
\nFrom all evil things He spares them,
\nIn His mighty arms He bears them.<\/p>\n
3
\nNeither life nor death shall ever
\nFrom the Lord His children sever;
\nUnto them His grace He showeth,
\nAnd their sorrows all He knoweth.<\/p>\n
4
\nPraise the Lord in joyful numbers,
\nYour Protector never slumbers;
\nAt the will of your Defender
\nEvery foe-man must surrender.<\/p>\n
5
\nThough He giveth or He taketh,
\nGod His children ne’er forsaketh;
\nHis the loving purpose solely
\nTo preserve them pure and holy.<\/p>\n
