Tune: | PLEYEL'S HYMN |
Composer: | Ignar J. Pleyel |
1 Children of the heav'nly King,
As we journey, sweetly sing;
Sing our Saviour's worthy praise,
Glorious in His works and ways.
2 We are trav'ling home to God,
In the way our 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 Lord, obediently we go,
Gladly leaving all below;
Only Thou our Leader be,
And we still will follow Thee.
