"Tryggare kan ingen vara" (English version: "Children of the Heavenly Father") is a Christian hymn with lyrics by Lina Sandell circa 1850, and published in 1855 Andeliga daggdroppar, where the writer was credited as anonymous. It was recorded by Carola Häggkvist in 1998 on the album Blott en dag.[1] It has also been used in the film soundtrack for the 1987 film More About the Children of Noisy Village.[2]

The melody has been credited to a Swedish version of a German folk tune, but in Koralbok för Nya psalmer, 1921, two different melodies are credited, one 1919 A melody by Ivar Widéen, and another credited as a "folk tune". It is usually heard at baptisms, and sometimes during funerals and Christmas.

In 1925, the song was given lyrics in English, as "Children of the Heavenly Father", written by Ernst W. Olson.
