I Am a Child of God
Author: Mary Jackson Cathey Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: I am a child of God, the One who made and keeps me Lyrics: I am a child of God, the One who made and keeps me.
By God's free gift of love, God's child I always will be.
Forever I belong, I know that this is true;
and with my mind and heart, I trust and love God, too.
God's image is in us, the people of creation.
No matter where we live, we share a close relation.
God's covenant is sure, eternal word for all
who follow in God's way and answer to God's call.
God never turns from us, not even in our sinning.
God loves and waits for us to claim a new beginning.
By opening our hearts, we then prepare the way
for God's love to come in and guide us every day.
I thank God for that love and all the world around me,
the seen and unseen things, and promised things that will be.
Through worship, trust, and prayer, may I reflect God's will.
Let love be seen in me as I God's word fulfill.

With loving hands Thy child,

Be Thou my Light, my Lot,
My Staff, my Rock, my Shield,--
O God, forsake me not!

Be Thou my Strength and Power--
O God, forsake me not!

Lord, hear my supplication!
In every evil hour
Help me o’ercome temptation;
And when the Prince of hell
My conscience seeks to blot,
Be Thou not far from me--
O God, forsake me not!
4 O God, forsake me not!
Thy mercy I’m addressing;
O Father, God of Love,
Grant me Thy heavenly blessing
To do the duty which
To me Thou didst allot,
To do what pleaseth Thee--
O God, forsake me not!
5 O God, forsake me not!
Lord, I am Thine forever,
Grant me true faith in Thee,
Grant that I leave Thee never;
Grant me a blessed end,
When my good fight is fought,
Help me in life and death--

With them in highest heaven;

For thus it was, is now,

Wherein Thine honor dwelleth;
The joy of Thine abode
All earthly joy excelleth;
It is the house of prayer,
Wherein Thy servants meet;
And Thou, O Lord, art there
Thy chosen flock to greet.

O what on earth so dearer?
For there, in faith adored,
We find Thy presence nearer'
We love the word of life,
The word that tells of peace,
Of comfort in the strife,
And joys that never cease.
3 We love to sing below
For mercies freely given;
But most we long to know
The triumph-song of heaven.
Lord Jesus, give us grace
On earth to love Thee more,
In heaven to see Thy face,
And with Thy saints adore.

O fountain ever flowing,
Without whom nothing is,
All perfect gifts bestowing,
Give us a faithful life,
And give us, Lord, within,
Commitment free from strife,
A soul unhurt by sin.

With ready heart and willing,
Whatever you command,
Our calling here fulfilling;
And do it when we ought,
With zeal and joyfulness;
And bless the work we've wrought,
For you must give success.
3 If dangers gather round,
Still keep us calm and fearless;
Help us to bear the cross
When life seems dark and cheerless.
To overcome our foes
With words and actions kind;
O God, your will disclose,
Your counsel let us find.
