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 traveling home to God,

In the way the fathers trod:

They are happy now—and ye

Soon there happiness shall see.

3 Shout, ye little flock, and blest;

You on Jesus’ throne shall rest:

There your seat is now prepared—

There your kingdom and reward.

4 Fear not, brethren, joyful stand

On the borders of your land;

Jesus Christ, your Father’s Son,

Bids you undismayed go on.

5 Lord, submissive make us go,

Gladly leaving all below;

Only thou our leader be,

And we still will follow thee.
