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 Used With Tune: MELLING
