A Child of the King/I Belong to the King
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.
I once was an outcast stranger on earth,
A sinner by choice, an alien by birth,
But I've been adopted, my name's written down,
An heir to a mansion, a robe and a crown.
I'm a child of the King,
A child of the King:
With Jesus my Savior,
I'm a child of the King.
I'm a child of the King,
A child of the King:
With Jesus my Savior,
I'm a child of the King.
I belong to the King; I’m a child of His love,
I shall dwell in His palace so fair,
For He tells of its bliss in yon heaven above,
And His children in splendor shall share.
I belong to the King; I’m a child of His love,
And He never forsaketh His own.
He will call me some day to His palace above;
I shall dwell by His glorified throne.
I belong to the King; I’m a child of His love,
And He never forsaketh His own.
He will call me some day to His palace above;
I shall dwell by His glorified throne.
I belong to the King, and His promise is sure:
That we all shall be gathered at last
In His kingdom above, by life’s waters so pure,
When this life with its trials is past.
I belong to the King; I’m a child of His love,
And He never forsaketh His own.
He will call me some day to His palace above;
I shall dwell by His glorified throne.
I belong to the King; I’m a child of His love,
And He never forsaketh His own.
He will call me some day to His palace above;
I shall dwell by His glorified throne.

Sara, I love this blog! I hope you don't mind that I shared the link with my Mom and a friend that is having a hard time right now. Oh, one more thing, you need a link to where we can buy your cds! Chris
Thanks for posting a couple of lovely songs reminding us as believers of our Father's abundance. It's interesting you posted "I'm a Child of the King," by Harriet Buell. Today, as I write, is the 100th anniversary of her death.
If you enjoy reading about the background of our hymns and their authors, I invite you to check out my daily blog on the subject, Wordwise Hymns. And if you're looking for information on Christmas music, check out my book Discovering the Songs of Christmas. It contains information on over 60 Christmas hymns and carols.
Back again, because today is the 59th anniversary of Ida Smith, the author of your second song. You can learn more about her on Wordwise Hymns today.
