<div class="lyrics">
<p>Children of the heavenly King,<br>
As ye journey, sweetly sing;<br>
Sing your Savior&#8217;s worthy praise,<br>
Glorious in His works and ways</p>
<p>We are traveling home to God,<br>
In the way the fathers trod;<br>
They are happy now, and we<br>
Soon their happiness shall see.</p>
<p>O, ye banished seed, be glad!<br>
Christ our Advocate is made;<br>
Us to save, our flesh assumes&#8212;<br>
Brother to our souls becomes.</p>
<p>Shout, ye little flock, and blest,<br>
You on Jesus&#8217; throne shall rest:<br>
There your seat is now prepared&#8212;<br>
There your kingdom and reward.</p>
<p>Lift your eyes, ye sons of light,<br>
Zion&#8217;s city is in sight:<br>
There our endless home shall be,<br>
There our Lord we soon shall see.</p>
<p>Fear not, brethren; joyful stand<br>
On the borders of your land;<br>
Jesus Christ, your Father&#8217;s Son,<br>
Bids you undismayed go on.</p>
<p>Lord, obedient we would go,<br>
Gladly leaving all below;<br>
Only Thou our Leader be;<br>
And we will still follow Thee.</p>
