<p class="just">Shortly before writing this hymn, Lina Sandell and her father were on a boat trip when he fell overboard and drowned before her eyes. It is thought this tragedy gave birth to the lyrics.</p>

|
<p>Children of the heavenly Father<br>
|
|
Safely in His bosom gather;<br>
|
|
Nestling bird nor star in heaven<br>
|
|
Such a refuge ever was given.</p>
|
|
<p>God His own doth tend and nourish;<br>
|
|
In His holy courts they flourish;<br>
|
|
From all evil things He spares them;<br>
|
|
In His mighty arms He bears them.</p>
|
|
<p>Neither life nor death shall ever<br>
|
|
From the Lord His children sever;<br>
|
|
Unto them His grace He showeth,<br>
|
|
And their sorrows all He knoweth.</p>
|
|
<p>Though He giveth or He taketh,<br>
|
|
God His children never forsaketh;<br>
|
|
His the loving purpose solely<br>
|
|
To preserve them pure and holy.</p>
|
|
<p>Lo, their very hairs He numbers,<br>
|
|
And no daily care encumbers<br>
|
|
Them that share His every blessing<br>
|
|
And His help in woes distressing.</p>
|
|
<p>Praise the Lord in joyful numbers:<br>
|
|
Your Protector never slumbers.<br>
|
|
At the will of your Defender<br>
|
|
Every foeman must surrender.</p>
