The New Sabbath School Hosanna ‎#37a

37a. Children of the heavenly King

1 Children of the heavenly King,
As ye journey, sweetly sing;
Sing your Saviour’s worthy praise,
Glorious in his works and ways,
Glorious in his works and ways

2 Ye are traveling home to God,
In the way our fathers trod;
They are happy now, and ye
Soon their happiness shall see.

3 Shout, ye little flock, and blest;
You on Jesus' throne shall rest;
There your seat is now prepared,
There your kingdom and reward.

4 Fear not, brethren, joyful stand
On the borders of your land;
Jesus Christ, our Father’s Son,
Bids you undismay'd go on.

5 Lord, submissive make us go,
Gladly leaving all below;
Only thou or leader be,
And we still will follow thee.
