Author: John Cennick Hymnal: The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 #452a (1894) Lyrics: 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 Lift your eyes, ye sons of light!
Sion'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.
Amen. Topics: Adoration; Following Christ; Praise Languages: English Tune Title: [Children of the heavenly King]
