Children of the Heavenly King, As ye journey, sweetly sing; Sing your Saviour's worthy praise, Glorious in His works and ways! We are travelling 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; JESUS CHRIST, your Father's Son, Bids you undismay'd go on. LORD! obediently we go, Gladly leaving all below: Only Thou our Leader be, And we still will follow Thee. |
