My Father is rich in houses and lands

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.

I’m a child of the King

A child of the King:

With Jesus my Savior

I’m a child of the King.

My Father’s own Son

the Savior of men

Once wandered on earth as the poorest of them.

But now He is pleading our pardon on high

That we may be His when He comes by and by.

I once was an out-cast stranger on earth

A sinner by choice

and an alien by birth;

But I’ve been adopted

my name’s written down

An heir of salvation

the kingdom and crown.

Though poor on this earth

oh

why should I care?

Since glorious things for me God doth prepare;

Though trials abound

yet

still I may sing:

All glory to God

I’m a child of the King.
