A child of god is one who is
blessed with
eternal life, because they have made a choice to accept their status as an extension of the
Body of Christ. They need never
fear the
flames of hell, because they are
saved, and, because they have chosen, it is as if they had always been one of
Gods children.
(see
Eternity)
Hymn,
Words: Fanny Crosby, 1886.
Music: Ira D. Sankey
O child of God, wait patiently when dark thy path may be,
And let thy
faith lean trustingly on Him Who cares for Thee;
And though the clouds hang drearily upon the brow of night,
Yet in the morning
joy will come, and fill thy
soul with
light
O child of God, He loveth thee, and thou art all His own;
With gentle hand He leadeth thee, thou dost not
walk alone;
And though thou watchest wearily the long and stormy night,
Yet in the morning joy will come, and fill thy soul with light.
O child of God, how peacefully He calms thy fears to rest,
And draws thee upward tenderly, where dwell the pure and
blest;
And He Who bendeth silently above the
gloom of night,
Will take thee home where endless joy shall fill thy soul with light.
