The Child of a King

Author: Hattie E. Buell Appears in 384 hymnals First Line: My Father is rich in houses and lands Refrain First Line: I'm a child of the King Lyrics: 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. Refrain: I'm the child of a King, The child of a King: With Jesus, my Saviour, I'm the child of a King. 2 My Father's own Son, the Saviour of men, Once wandered o’er earth as the poorest of men, But now He is reigning forever on high, And will give me a home in heaven by and by. [Refrain] 3 I once was an outcast stranger on earth, A sinner by choice, an “alien” by birth! But I've been “adopted”, my name's written down, An heir to a mansion, a robe and a crown. [Refrain] 4 A tent or a cottage, why should I care? They're building a palace for me over there! Tho’ exiled from home yet, still may I sing: All glory to God, I'm the child of a King. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [My Father is rich in houses and lands]
