THE MISSIONARY'S SONG (THE SOLDIER'S SONG)

The earth is my FATHER'S
And where'er I am
I know that I dwell
In the palm of HIS hand.
No matter how far
HIS wide earth I roam,
I rest in HIS keeping
And know I am home.
Though demon or devil
Dare challenge me sore,
I flee to my FATHER,
Press in to HIM more!
Though enemy mortal
Or spirit I face,
HIS wing covers me,
I'm safe by HIS grace.
No minion from hell
Need my heart e'er fear--
Whenever I call--
My FATHER is near.
In Sweet Land of Freedom
Or warfare and strife,
My heart is at rest,
For HE guards my life.
The earth is my FATHER'S
And where'er I be,
I know I'm at home--
HE lives here with me.
