LyicsChil-dren of the heaven-ly King,
As ye jour-ney, sweet-ly sing:
Sing your Sav-ior's wor-thy praise,
Glo-rious in his works and ways.
Ye are trav-eling home to God,
In the way the fa-thers trod;
They are hap-py now-and ye
Soon their hap-pi-ness 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.
Fear not, brethren; joyful stand
On the borders of your land;
Jesus Christ, your Father's Son,
Bids you undismayed go on.
Lord, submissive make us go,
Gladly leaving all below;
Only thou our leader be,
And we still will follow thee.
