I Belong to the King

I be­long to the King; I’m a child of His love

I shall dwell in His pal­ace so fair

For He tells of its bliss in yon Heav­en ab­ove

And His child­ren in splen­dor shall share.

I be­long to the King; I’m a child of His love

And he nev­er for­sak­eth His own.

He will call me some day to His pal­ace ab­ove;

I shall dwell by His glo­ri­fied throne.

I be­long to the King

and He loves me I know

For His mer­cy and kind­ness so free

Are un­ceas­ing­ly mine where­so­ev­er I go

And my re­fuge un­fail­ing is He.

I be­long to the King

and His pro­mise is sure:

That we all shall be ga­thered at last

In His king­dom ab­ove

by life’s wa­ters so pure

When this life with its tri­als is past.
