And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews?
And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it.

A Child of the King
1.
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.
Refrain:
I’m a child of the King, A child of the King:
With Jesus my Saviour, I’m a child of the King.
2.
My Father’s own Son, the Saviour of men,
Once wandered on earth as the poorest of them;
But now He is pleading my pardon on high,
That we may be His when He comes by and by.
Refrain:
3.
I once was an outcast stranger on earth,
A sinner by choice, and an alien by birth,
But I’ve been adopted, my name’s written down,
An heir to a mansion, a robe and a crown.
Refrain:
4.
A tent or a cottage, why should I care?
They’re building a palace for me over there;
Though exiled from home, yet still I may sing:
All glory to God, I’m a child of the King.
Refrain:
A blessèd Seventh Day Sabbath to all believers.
In the Son’s Name - For the Father’s glory.
