| Composer: | Ignaz J. Pleyel |
1 Children of the Heavenly King,
As we journey, sweetly sing;
Sing our Saviour's worthy praise,
Glorious in His works and ways.
2 We are traveling home to God
In the way the fathers trod;
They are happy now, and we
Soon their happiness shall see.
3 Fear not, brethren; joyful stand
On the borders of your land;
Jesus Christ, your Father's Son,
Bids you undismayed go on.
4 Lord, obediently we go,
Gladly leaving all below;
Only Thou our Leader be,
And we still will follow Thee.
Amen.
