Children of the heavenly King

Children of the heavenly king,
as you journey, gladly sing,
sing your Saviour’s worthy praise,
glorious in his works and ways.

2. We are travelling home to God
in the way our fathers trod;
they are happy now, and there
we that happiness will share.

3. Lift your eyes and walk in light-
God’s own city is in sight;
there our endless home shall be,
there our Lord we soon shall see.

4. Never fear, but boldly stand
on the borders of your land;
Jesus Christ, your Father’s Son,
gives you strength to journey on.

5. Lord, obediently we go,
gladly leaving all below;
Master, be our guide indeed-
we shall follow where you lead.
