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 fullâ He has riches untold.
I'm the child of a King I the child of a King ! With Jesus my Saviour, I'm the child of a King!
2. My Father's own Son, the Saviour of men, Once wandered o'er earth as the poorest of them ; But now He is reigning for ever 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, an alien by birth ! But I've been adopted, my name's written down â 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 ! Though exiled from home, yet still I may sing : All glory to God, I'm the child of a King !
