Ingrids Philosophie in Versen "Children of the Promise"

 

                                                      Children of the Promise

 

 

We the children of the promise

Or this earth as stranger’s roam.

Children scattered through all nations

Once again, are gathered home.

Home where loving arms are waiting

Home where peace will grace each day.

Home where pain and tears and sorrow

Never find a place to stay.

Banished there are death and sin

Banished there, all earthly grieve.

For the father in his mercy

Fills each heart with sweet relief

Happy hours of joy and singing

As we enter through the gate

Come ye children of the promise

Come, oh come don’t hesitate.

Join the ranks, lift loud your voices,

 Thank him, praise him and adore.

                                           He our shield, our guide, our saviour,

                                                 He, our King for evermore.
