Children Of The Heavenly King

Children of the heavenly King

As ye journey, sweetly sing

Sing your savior’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

O, ye banished seed, be glad

Christ our advocate is made

Us to save, our flesh assumes

Brother to our souls becomes

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 undismayed go on

Lord, obedient we would go

Gladly leaving all below

Only Thou our leader be

And we will still follow Thee
