234. THE CHILD’S PRIVILEGE

Previous

​Author:  Unknown
​Composer:  Unknown

​1. The God who ruleth nations
    With wise consideration,
    Whose very name is Love.
    His love to us He proveth,
    To Him alone behooveth
    Good gifts to send us from above.
 
2. We are in childlike order;
    God has become our Father
    Thro’ Jesus Christ, our Lord;
    He hears His children crying
    And ne’er was known denying
    The promise given in His word.
 
3. If we in faith show weakness,
    Like doves we call in meekness;
    It soon attracts His eye;
    He never stands asunder,
    But in His love so tender
    He hears when children to Him cry.
 
4. I often say: My Father,
    Thy counsel I will gather;
    Where else should I resort?
    In ev’ry difficulty
    I will appear before Thee,
    For Thou my loving Farther art.
 
5. Be Thou my God forever.
    Nothing from Thee can sever;
    I beg: Protect Thou me!
    Confer on me Thy blessings,
    Thy help and love expressing;
    I plead: Oh, Father, help Thou me!
 
6. As Jacob in his wrestling
    Besought Thee for a blessing,
    Ere he would let Thee part,
    So I embrace Thee ever;
    Thou canst forsake me never,
    For tender is Thy Father-heart!
 
7. Ye cares, no longer tarry!
    No gentleness you carry,
    For you are stern and hard;
    Go now unto the Father;
    He is my Counselor rather –
    Arise, my soul, unto Thy Lord!

Special thanks to the Apostolic Christians who diligently labored to keep their rich musical heritage alive when most other denominations forsook it in the challenging battle of changing cultures.
​
Thanks be to those souls who labored to write and compose this treasure of praise, many now only known to GOD!

Above all, thanks, praise, and glory be to GOD!
