Hymn Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk - Christian Hymn Lyrics.  

Children of the heavenly King 
Children of the heavenly King, as ye journey, sweetly sing; sing your Saviour's worthy praise, glorious in his works and ways. 
We are travelling home to God in the way the fathers trod; they are happy now, and we soon their happiness shall see. 
Lift your eyes, ye sons of light! Zion's city is in sight; there our endless home shall be there our Lord we soon shall see. 
Fear not, brethren! joyful stand on the borders of your land; Jesus Christ, your Father's Son, bids you undismayed go on. 
Lord, obedient we would go, gladly leaving all below; only thou our leader be, and we still will follow thee.
