LYRICS:
MP #770 Children of the Heavenly King by John Cennick
VERSE 1
Chil-dren of the heav'n-ly King,
As ye jour-ney, sweet-ly sing;
Sing your Sav-iour's wor-thy praise,
Glo-rious in his works and ways!
VERSE 2
We are trav-'lling home to God,
In the way the fa-thers trod;
They are hap-py now, and we
Soon their hap-pi-ness shall see.
VERSE 3
Glo-ry be to Je-sus' name,
Glo-ry be to Christ the Lamb;
Through thy blood were we re-deemed,
When we just-ly were con-demned.
VERSE 4
O ye ban-ished seed, be glad!
Christ our ad-vo-cate is made;
Us to save, our flesh as-sumes;
Broth-er to our soul be-comes.
VERSE 5
Shout, ye lit-tle flock and blest;
You on Je-sus' throne shall rest;
There your seat is now pre-pared,
There's your king-dom and re-ward.
VERSE 6
Lift your eyes, ye sons of light,
Zi-on's cit-y is in sight;
There our end-less home shall be,
There our Lord we soon shall see.
VERSE 7
Fear not, breth-ren; joy-ful stand
On the bor-ders of your land;
Je-sus Christ, your Fa-ther's Son,
Bids you un-dis-mayed go on.
VERSE 8
Lord! o-bed'-ent-ly we go,
Glad-ly lea-ving all be-low:
Only thou our lea-der be,
And we still will fol-low thee!
VERSE 9
For thee all things we for-sake,
We in bet-ter would par-take;
We to grea-ter bles-sings soar,
Unto joys for ev-er-more.
VERSE 10
Thi-ther, Lord, us quick-ly bring,
There we with thy host will sing;
Safe-ly ha-vened once in bliss,
We will praise thy right-eous-ness.
VERSE 11
Dai-ly us pre-pare and fit,
On thy ho-ly throne to sit!
More and more a-dorn thy seed,
Meet to tri-umph with our Head.
VERSE 12
Seal our love, our la-bours end,
Let us to thy bliss as-cend;
Let us to thy king-dom come;
Lord, we long to be at home.
