1 Pet. 2:11.
Children of the heavenly King,
As ye journey, sweetly sing;
Sing your Saviour’s worthy praise,
Glorious in his works and ways.
2 Ye are traveling home to God,
In the way the fathers trod:
They are happy now—and ye
Soon there happiness shall see.
3 Shout, ye little flock, and blest;
You on Jesus’ throne shall rest:
There your seat is now prepared—
There your kingdom and reward.
4 Fear not, brethren, joyful stand
On the borders of your land;
Jesus Christ, your Father’s Son,
Bids you undismayed go on.
5 Lord, submissive make us go,
Gladly leaving all below;
Only thou our leader be,
And we still will follow thee.
Cennick.
