| 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.
Refrain.
I知 a child of the King,
A child of the King:
With Jesus my Savior,
I知 a child of the King.
2. My Father痴 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.
Refrain.
I知 a child of the King,
A child of the King:
With Jesus my Savior,
I知 a child of the King.
3. I once was an outcast stranger
on earth,
A sinner by choice, an alien by birth,
But I致e been adopted,
my name痴 written down,
An heir to a mansion,
a robe and a crown.
Refrain.
I知 a child of the King,
A child of the King:
With Jesus my Savior,
I知 a child of the King.
4. A tent or a cottage,
why should I care?
They池e building a palace
for me over there;
Though exiled from home,
yet still may I sing:
All glory to God,
I知 a child of the King.
Refrain.
I知 a child of the King,
A child of the King:
With Jesus my Savior,
I知 a child of the King.
