Children of the Heavenly King

 

Children of the heavenly King,
As we journey, let us sing;
Sing our Savior’s worthy praise,
Glorious in his works and ways.

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

O ye banished seed, be glad;
Christ our Advocate is made:
Us to save our flesh assumes,
Brother to our souls becomes.

Fear not, brethren, joyful stand
On the borders of our land;
Jesus Christ, our Father’s Son,
Bids us undismayed go on.

Lord, obediently we’ll go,
Gladly leaving all below;
Only Thou our Leader be,
And we still will follow Thee.
