732--My Father is rich in houses and lands,

My Father is rich in houses and lands,

732

	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 wandered on earth as the poorest
		of them.
		But now He is pleading our pardon on
		high,
		That we may be His when He come by
		and by.
	3.	I once was an out-cast stranger on
		earth,
		A sinner by choice, and an alien by
		birth;
		But I've been adopted, my name's
		written down,
		An heir of salvation, the kingdom and
		crown.
	4.	Though poor on this earth, oh, why
		should I care?
		Since glorious things for me God doth
		prepare;
		Though trials abound, yet, still I may
		sing:
		All glory to God, I'm a child of the
		King.
