Author: J. Cennick (1718-1755) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #566a (1987) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Children of the heavenly King,
as you 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 our fathers trod;
they are happy now, and we
soon their happiness shall see.
3 Lift your eyes and walk in light —
God's own city is in sight;
there our endless home shall be,
there our Lord we soon shall see.
4 Never fear, but boldly stand
on the borders of your land;
Christ, the everlasting Son,
gives you strength to journey on.
5 Lord, obediently we go,
gladly leaving all below;
Master, be our guide indeed —
we shall follow where you lead. Topics: God's Church The Church Triumphant, Heaven; Last Sunday after Pentecost Citizens of Heaven Languages: English Tune Title: MELLING
