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 will coffers are full He has riches untold.
Refrain: 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 wandered o’er earth as the poorest of them But now He is reigning forever on high, And give me a home in a heav’n by and by.
3. I once was an outcast stranger on earth, A sinner by choice and an align by birth But I’ve been adopted, my names written down An heir to a mansion, 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 child of the King!
