1 Children of the heavenly King,
As ye journey, sweetly sing;
Sing your Saviour's worthy praise,
Glorious in His works and ways.
2 We are travelling home to God,
In the way the fathers trod:
They are happy now, and we
Soon their happiness shall see.
3 Banish'd once, by sin betray'd,
Christ our Advocate was made;
pardon'd now, no more we roam,
Christ conducts us to our home.
4 Lord, obediently we go,
Gladly leaving all below;
Only Thou our Leader be,
And we will still follow Thee.
