LyicsCHILDREN of the heavenly king,
As we journey, sweetly sing;
Sing our 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.
O ye mourning should be glad,
Christ our advocate is made;
Us to save, our flesh assumes,
Brother to our souls becomes.
Shout, ye little flock, and blest,
Soon you'll enter into rest:
There your seat is now prepared,
There your Kingdom and reward.
Fear not, brethern, joyful stand
On the borders of your land,
Jesus Christ, our Father's Son,
Bids us undismayed go on.
Lord, obediently we'll go,
Gladly leaving all below:
Only thou our leader ve,
And we still will follow thee.
