10433. Singing As We Journey

1 We are children of a king,
Heav’nly king, heav’nly king;
We are children of a king,
Singing as we journey;
Jesus Christ our guard and guide,
Bids us, nothing terrified,
Follow closely at His side,
Singing as we journey.

2 We are traveling to our home,
Blessèd home, blessèd home;
We are traveling to our home,
Singing as we journey;
Tow’rd a city out of sight
Where will fall no shade of night,
For our Savior is its light,
Singing as we journey.

3 Full of joy we onward go,
Heav’nward go, heav’nward go;
Full of joy we onward go,
Singing as we journey;
Singing all the journey thro’—
Singing hearts are brave and true—
Singing till our home we view,
Singing as we journey.
