CCLXXXVII. Heavenly Journey

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

2 Ye are travelling 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.
