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