Words: Caroline V. Sandell-Berg, 1855; tran: by Ernst W. Olson, 1925
Music: Swedish melody Trans. © 1925, renewed 1953 Augsburg/Fortress
1 Children of the heavenly Father
safely in his bosom gather;
nestling bird nor star in heaven
such a refuge e’er was given.
2 God his own doth tend and nourish;
in his holy courts they flourish;
from all evil things he spares them;
in his mighty arms he bears them.
3 Neither life nor death shall ever
from the Lord his children sever;
unto them his grace he showeth,
and their sorrows all he knoweth.
4 Though he giveth or he taketh,
God his children ne’er forsaketh;
his the loving purpose solely
to preserve them safe and holy.

Closing Hymn: “If It Had Not Been for the Lord” #2053 TFWS
Words: Margaret P. Douroux Music: Margaret P. Douroux
© 1980 Margaret P. Douroux
If It had not been for the Lord on my side;
tell me where would I be, where would I be.
If It had not been for the Lord on my side;
tell me where would I be, where would I be.
He kept my enemies away;
he let the sun shine though a cloudy day.
He rocked me in the cradle of his arm
when he knew I had been battered and scorned,
So…
If It had not been for the Lord on my side;
tell me where would I be, where would I be.
If It had not been for the Lord on my side;
tell me where would I be, where would I be.
He never left me all alone;
he gave me peace and joy I’d never known.
He answered when I knelt to really pray,
and in vict’ry the Lord brought me his way,
So…
If It had not been for the Lord on my side;
tell me where would I be, where would I be.
If It had not been for the Lord on my side;
tell me where would I be, where would I be.
Dismissal with Blessing…….……………Pastor Juan
