Author: John Cennick, 1718-55 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #344 (1986) Meter: 7.7.7.7 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 Fear not, brethren; joyful stand
On the borders of your land:
Jesus Christ your Father's Son,
Bids you undismayed go on.
4 Lift your eyes ye sons of light,
Sion's city is in sight;
There our endless home shall be,
There our Lord in glory see.
