A Child of The King

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. I'm a child of the King, a child of the King: With Jesus my Savior I'm a child of the King.

2 My Father's own Son, the Savior of men, Once wander'd 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.

3 I once was an outcast stranger on earth, A sinner by choice, and an alien by birth! But I've been adopted, my name's written down,- An heir to a mansion, a robe, and a crown.

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 I may sing: All glory to God, I'm the child of a King.
