My Father is rich in houses and land,
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 Saviour,
I’m a child of the King.

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

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

– – – – – – – – – –

Take the world, but give me Jesus!
All its joys are but a name;
But His love abideth ever,
Thro’ eternal years the same.

O the height and depth of mercy!
O the length and breadth of love!
O the fullness of redemption,
Pledge of endless life above!

– – – – – – – – – –

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

Now in a song of grateful praise
To Thee, O Lord, my voice I’ll raise;

Since e’er my soul has known Thy love,
What mercies Thou hast made me prove:

And join the anthems of the skies,
Above the rest this note shall swell:
My Jesus hath done all things well.

For who aught to my charge shall lay?
Fully absolved through these I am,
From sin and fear, from guilt and shame.

Which, at the mercy seat of God,
Forever doth for sinners plead,
For me, e’en for my soul, was shed.

Thou Sweet Beloved Will of God

Thou sweet beloved will of God,
My anchor ground, my fortress hill,
My spirit’s silent, fair abode,
In Thee I hide me, and am still.

O Will that willest good alone,
Lead Thou the way, Thou guidest best;
A little child, I follow on,
And trusting, lean upon Thy breast.

Thou wonderful, grand will, my God,
With triumph now I make it mine;
And faith shall cry a joyous “Yes!”
To ev’ry dear command of Thine.

Jesus, Thy Boundless Love to Me

Words: Paul Gerhardt (1653) alt. / Tr. John Wesley (1739)
Music: Dimitri S. Bortniansky (1825)

Jesus, Thy boundless love to me
No tho’t can reach, no tongue declare;
Unite my thankful heart to Thee,
And reign without a rival there.
Thine wholly, Thine alone I am;
My soul with constant love aflame.

Thy love, how cheering is its ray!
All pain before its presence flies;
Care, anguish, sorrow, melt away,
Where’er its healing beams arise:
O Jesus, nothing may I see,
Nothing desire or seek but Thee.

O draw me, Saviour, after Thee!
So shall I run and never tire.
With gracious words still comfort me;
Be Thou my hope, my sole desire.
Free me from ev’ry weight: nor fear
Nor sin can come if Thou art here.

Still let Thy love point out my way;
How wondrous things Thy love hath wrought!
Still lead me, lest I go astray;
Direct my work, inspire my tho’t;
And if I fall, soon may I hear
Thy voice, and know that love is near.

O Little Town of Bethlehem / Infant Holy, Infant Lowly

Sheet Music
Listen to the audio of this arrangement on our CD: Emmanuel Has Come
Tune Name: ST. LOUIS / W ZLOBIE LEZY
Words: Phillip Brooks (1835-1893) / Polish carol;
trans. by Edith M. G. Reed (1885-1933)
Music: Lewis H. Redner (1831-1908) / Polish carol
Arrangement: Karissa Carlson

O little town of Bethlehem,
How still we see thee lie!
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by.
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light;
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight.

How silently, how silently,
The wondrous gift is giv’n!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heav’n.
No ear may hear His coming,
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive Him still,
The dear Christ enters in.

– – – – – – – – – –

Infant holy, Infant lowly,
For His bed a cattle stall;
Oxen lowing, little knowing
Christ the Babe is Lord of all.
Swift are winging angels singing,
Noels ringing, tidings bringing:
Christ the Babe is Lord of all;
Christ the Babe is Lord of all.

O Worship the King – Piano Solo

Sheet Music

Tune Name: LYONS
Words: Robert Grant (1779-1838)
Based on Psalm 104
Music: J. Michael Haydn (1737-1806)

O worship the King, all glorious above,
O gratefully sing His pow’r and His love;
Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days,
Pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise.

O tell of His might; O sing of His grace,
Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space.
His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form,
And dark is His path on the wings of the storm.

Thy bountiful care what tongue can recite?
It breathes in the air; it shines in the light.
It streams from the hills; it descends to the plain,
And sweetly distills in the dew and the rain.

Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,
In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail;
Thy mercies how tender! how firm to the end!
Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend!

Send a gleam across the wave!
Some poor fainting, struggling seaman
You may rescue, you may save.

Rescue the perishing, duty demands it;
Strength for thy labor the Lord will provide;
Back to the narrow way, patiently win them;
Tell the poor wand’rer a Saviour has died.

Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken


Tune Name: AUSTRIAN HYMN
Words: John Newton (1725-1807)
Music: Franz Joseph Haydn (1732-1809)
Arrangement: Karissa Carlson

Glorious things of Thee are spoken,
Zion, city of our God;
He whose word cannot be broken
Formed thee for His own abode.
On the Rock of Ages founded,
What can shake thy sure repose?
With salvation’s walls surrounded,
Thou mayst smile at all thy foes.

See the streams of living waters
Springing from eternal Love –
Well supply thy sons and daughters,
And all fear of want remove.
Who can faint while such a river
Ever flows their thirst to assuage?
Grace which, like the Lord, the Giver,
Never fails from age to age!

Round each habitation hov’ring,
See the cloud and fire appear
For a glory and a cov’ring,
Showing that the Lord is near!
Thus deriving from their banner
Light by night and shade by day;
Safe they feed upon the manna
Which He gives them when they pray.

Arrangement: Karissa Carlson

I’ve found a Friend, oh, such a Friend!

He drew me with the cords of love,
And thus He bound me to Him.
And round my heart still closely twine
Those ties which naught can sever,
For I am His, and He is mine,
Forever and forever.

I’ve found a Friend, oh, such a Friend!
He bled, He died to save me;
And not alone the gift of life,
But His own self He gave me.
Naught that I have my own I call,
I hold it for the Giver;
My heart, my strength, my life, my all,
Are His, and His forever.

I’ve found a Friend, oh, such a Friend!
So kind, and true, and tender,
So wise a Counsellor and Guide,
So mighty a Defender!
From Him who loves me now so well,
What pow’r my soul can sever?
Shall life or death, or earth or hell?
No; I am His forever.

O could I speak the matchless worth,
O could I sound the glories forth
Which in my Saviour shine,
I’d soar and touch the heav’nly strings,
And vie with Gabriel while he sings
In notes almost divine,
In notes almost divine.

I’d sing the precious blood He spilt,
My ransom from the dreadful guilt
Of sin and wrath divine!
I’d sing His glorious righteousness,
In which all-perfect heav’nly dress
My soul shall ever shine,
My soul shall ever shine.

I’d sing the characters He bears,
And all the forms of love He wears,
Exalted on His throne:
In loftiest songs of sweetest praise,
I would to everlasting days
Make all His glories known,
Make all His glories known.
