CCLXXIX. Praise

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

2 Ye are trav'ling home to God,
In the way the Fathers trod;
They are happy now, and ye
Soon their happiness shall see.

3 O, ye banish'd seed be glad!
Christ your advocate is made!
Us to save, our flesh assumes,
Brother to our souls becomes.

4 Shout, ye little flock and blest,
You on Jesus' throne shall rest:
There your seat is now prepar'd,
There your kingdom and reward.

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

6 Lord, obediently we go,
Gladly leaving all below;
Only thou our leader be,
And we still will follow thee.
