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