A Child Of The King i. 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.

Chorus I’m a child of the King, a child of the King;With Jesus my Saviour, I’m a child of the King.

ii. My Father’s own Son, the Saviour of men,Once wandered on earth as the poorest of them;But now He is reigning forever on high,And will give me a home in heav’n by and by.

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God [D Maj.]i. A mighty fortress is our God,

A bulwark never failing, Our helper He, amid the flood Of mortal ills prevailing: For still our ancient foe Doth seek to work us woe; His craft and pow’r are great, And armed with cruel hate, On earth is not his equal.

ii. Did we in our own strength confide,Our striving would be losing; Were not the right man on our side, The Man of God’s own choosing; Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He; Lord Saboath, His name, From age to age the same, And He must win the battle.

iii. And tho’ this world, with devils filled Should threaten to undo us, We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph thro’ us: The Prince of Darkness grim, We tremble not for him; His rage we can endure, For lo, his doom is sure, One little word shall fell him.

iv. That word above all earthly pow’rs, No thanks to them, abideth; The Spirit and the gifts are ours Thro’ Him who with us sideth; Let goods and kindred go, This mortal life also; The body they may kill: God’s truth abideth still, His kingdom is forever.

A Virgin Most Purei A virgin most pure, as the prophets do tell,

Hath brought forth a baby, as it hath befell,To be our Redeemer from death, hell and sin,Which Adam’s transgression hath wrapped us in.

Chorus And therefore be merry, set sorrow aside;Christ Jesus our Saviour was born on this tide.

ii. In Bethlehem in Jewry, a city there wasWhere Joseph and Mary together did pass,All for to be taxed with many one more,For Caesar commanded the same should be so.

iii. But when they had entered the city so fair,A number of people so mighty was thereThat Joseph and Mary, whose substance was small,Could find in the inn there no lodging at all.

iv. Then were they constrained in a stable to lie,Where horses and asses they used for to tieTheir lodging so simple they took it no scorn.But against the next morning our Saviour was born.

iii. Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut His glories in, When Christ the mighty Maker diedFor man, the creature’s sin.

iv. Thus might hide my blushing faceWhile Calvary’s cross appears,Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,And melt mine eyes to tears.
