19. Sweetly Sing

1 Children of the heav'nly King,
As we journey, sweetly, sweetly sing;
Sing your Saviour's worthy praise,
Glorious in his works and ways.

Refrain:
Sweetly sing, sweetly sing,
Children of the heav'nly King.

2 Ye are trav'ling home to God
In the way the father trod;
They are happy now, and ye
Soon their happiness shall be. [Refrain]

3 Lord, submissive make us go,
Gladly leaving all below;
Only thou our leader be,
And we still will follow thee. [Refrain]
