Words
⤢ Full screenChildren of the heavenly King,As ye journey sweetly sing;Sing your Savior's worthy praise,Glorious in his works and ways.We are traveling home to God,In the way the fathers trod;They are happy now and weSoon their happiness shall see.
Shout ye little flock, and blest,You near Jesus throne shall rest;There your seats are now prepared,There your kingdom and reward.Fear not, brethren, joyful standOn the borders of your land:Jesus Christ, your Father's son,Bids you undismay'd go on.
