~ My Father Is Rich ~

My father is rich
In houses and lands
For all was created
By His mighty hands

If we offered a gift
Of this world to Him
It would be already His
We couldn't give it again

But He made a way
That we still may give
Send Him our praise
For Him always live

He dwells in our praises
It pleases Him so
To lift up His name
Let all people know

He gave us His all
On Calvary that day
When it was ordained
Our sin debt He'd pay

Now look what He's done
And you'd never compare
To the gift of all ages
That Jesus gave there

Let us be rich
In the Love of our Lord
Pray without ceasing
'Til our prayers be heard

My Father 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
Harriet E. Buell 1877
