#275: I Belong to the King

(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith)

1

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 its splendors shall share.

CHORUS

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.

2

I belong to the King — and He loves me I know,

For His mercy and kindness so free,

Are unceasingly mine where-so-ever I go,

And my refuge unfailing is He.

CHORUS

3

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.

CHORUS
