Author: John Cennick Hymnal: Church Book #379 (1890) Lyrics: 1 Children of the heavenly King,
As ye 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 the fathers trod;
They are happy now, and we
Soon their happiness shall see.
3 O ye banished seed, be glad!
Christ our advocate is made;
Us to save, our flesh assumes;
Brother to our souls becomes.
4 Sing, ye little flock and blest:
You on Jesus' throne shall rest;
There your seat is now prepared
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 undismayed go on.
6 Lord, obediently we go,
Gladly leaving all below;
Only Thou our Leader be,
And we still will follow Thee. Topics: The Order of Salvation Peace and Joy; Easter Eve; Easter Season, Second Sunday; Easter Season, Sixth Sunday Languages: English Tune Title: BEETHOVEN
