1 Children of the Heavenly King,
As we journey let us sing--
Sing our Saviour's worthy praise,
Glorious in his works and ways.

2 We are trav'ling home to God,
In the way our fathers trod;
They are happy now, and we
Soon their happiness shall see.

3 Oh, ye banished seed, be glad;
Christ our Advocate is made;
Us to save, our flesh assumes--
Brother to our souls becomes.

4 Fear not, brethren; joyful stand
On the borders of our land;
Jesus Christ, our Father's Son,
Bids us, undismayed, go on.
