Author: John Cennick, 1718-1755 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #526 (2011) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7 Hymnal Title: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal Lyrics: 1 Children of the heavenly King,
As we journey let us sing;
Sing our Savior’s worthy praise,
Glorious in His works and ways,
Glorious in His works and ways.
2 We are traveling home to God,
In the way our fathers trod;
They are happy now, and we
Soon their happiness shall see,
Soon their happiness shall see.
3 Fear not, brethren; joyful stand
On the borders of our land;
Jesus Christ, our Father’s Son,
Bids us undismayed go on,
Bids us undismayed go on.
4 Lord, obediently we'll go,
Gladly leaving all below;
Only Thou our leader be,
And we still will follow Thee,
And we still will follow Thee.
Amen. Topics: The Living Church Christian Fellowship; Opening; Processionals; Recessionals; Walking with God Scripture: Isaiah 35:10 Languages: English Tune Title: HENDON
