Author: John Cennick Hymnal: Christ in Song #747 (1908) First Line: Children of the heav'nly King Lyrics: 1. Children of the heav'nly King
As we journey, sweetly sing;
Sing your Saviour's worthy praise,
Glorious in his works and ways.
2. We are trav'ling home to God,
In the way the fathers trod;
And when Christ our Lord shall come,
We shall all be gathered home.
3. Shout, ye little flock, and blest,
You near Jesus' throne shall rest;
There your seats are 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. Topics: The Home Eternal Nearing Home Languages: English Tune Title: HART
