Text: | Rejoicing in Hope |
1 Children of the heavenly King,
As ye journey, sweetly sing;
Sing your Savior's worthy praise,
Glorious in his works and ways.
2 Ye are trav'lling home to God,
In the way the fathers trod;
They are happy now, and ye
Soon their happiness shall see.
3 O, ye banish'd seed, be glad!
Christ our advocate is made;
Us to save, our flesh assumes--
Brother to our souls becomes.
4 Shout, ye little flock, and blest,
You on Jesus' throne shall rest;
There your seat is now prepar'd--
There your kingdom and reward.
5 Fear not brethren--joyful stand
On the borders of your land;
Jesus Christ, your Father's Son,
Bids you undismay'd go on.
6 Lord, submissive make us go,
Gladly leaving all below;
Only thou our leader be,
And we still will follow thee.
