Author: John Cennick Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #457 (1899) Hymnal Title: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes Lyrics: 1 Children of the heavenly King,
As ye journey, sweetly sing;
Sing your Saviour's worthy praise,
Glorious in His works and ways.
2 Ye are travelling home to God,
In the way the fathers trod:
They are happy now, and ye
Soon their happiness shall see.
3 O ye banished seed be glad!
Christ our Advocate is made;
Us to save, our flesh assumes;
Brother to our souls becomes.
4 Shout, ye little flock, and blest;
You on Jesus' throne shall rest:--
There your seat is now prepared;
There your kingdom and reward.
5 Lord, submissive make us go,
Gladly leaving all below;
Only Thou our leader be,
And we still will follow Thee.
Amen. Topics: Blessedness of the Righteous; Christians Blessedness of; Christians Children of God; Christians Triumph of; Happiness; Hope; Joy; Righteousness Blessings of Languages: English Tune Title: BRASTED
