Child of the King
(or 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.
My Father's own Son, the Savior of men,
Once wandered o'er earth as the poorest of them;
But now He is reigning in glory on high,
Preparing a place for the sweet by and by.
A tent or a cottage, why should I care?
They're building a palace for me over there!
Though here I'm a stranger yet still I may sing;
All glory to God, I'm a child of the King!
Chorus I'm a child of the King,
A child of the King!
With Jesus, my Savior,
I'm a child of the King.
