- Children of the heavenly King,
As ye journey, sweetly sing;
Sing your Saviour’s worthy praise,
Glorious in His works and ways
- We are traveling home to God,
In the way the fathers trod;
They are happy now, and we
Soon their happiness shall see.
- Shout, ye little flock, and blest,
You on Jesus’ throne shall rest:
There your seat is now prepared—
There your kingdom and reward.
- Lift your eyes, ye sons of light,
Zion’s city is in sight:
There our endless home shall be,
There our Lord we soon shall see.
- Fear not, brethren; joyful stand
On the borders of your land;
Christ, your Father’s Son,
Bids you undismay’d go on.
- Lord, obedient we go,
Glandly leaving all below;
Only Thou our Leader be;
And we will still follow Thee. Amen.
