Author: Harriet E. Buell Appears in 386 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 1:4 First Line: My Father is rich in houses and lands Lyrics: 1 My Father is rich in houses and lands, He holdeth the wealth of the world in His hands!

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 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] 3 I once was an outcast stranger on earth, A sinner by choice, and an alien by birth; But I've been adopted, my name's written down, An heir to a mansion, a robe, and a crown. [Refrain] 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 a child of the King.

And can it be that I should gain

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88 Appears in 286 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 1:6-12 Lyrics: 1 And can it be that I should gain an interest in the Saviour's blood? Died he for me, who caused his pain-- for me, who him to death pursued? Amazing love! How can it be that thou, my God, shouldst die for me! 2 'Tis mystery all! The immortal dies: who can explore his strange design? In vain the first-born seraph tries to sound the depths of love divine. 'Tis mercy all! Let earth adore, let angel minds enquire no more. 3 He left his Father's throne above (so free, so infinite his grace!) emptied himself of all but love, and bled for Adam's helpless race. 'Tis mercy all, immense and free: for, O my God, it found out me. 4 Long my imprisoned spirit lay fast bound in sin and nature's night: thine eye diffused a quickening ray-- I woke; the dungeon flamed with light! My chains fell off, my heart was free, I rose, went forth, and followed thee. 5 No condemnation now I dread: Jesus, and all in him, is mine! Alive in him, my living Head, and clothed in righteousness divine, bold I approach the eternal throne, and claim the crown, through Christ, my own.
