Children of the Heavenly King

Pleyel's Hymn 7777

IGNACE JOSEPH PLEYEL

1. Chil-dren of the heav'n-ly King, As ye journey, sweet-ly sing;

Sing your Sav-iour's wor-thy praise, Glo-rious in His works and ways! A-men

We are traveling home to God,
In the way the fathers trod;
They are happy now, and we
Soon their 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

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.

5

Fear not, brethren; joyful stand
On the borders of your land;
Jesus Christ, your Father's Son,
Bids you undismayed go on.

6

Lord! obediently we go,

Gladly leaving all below;

Only Thou our Leader be,

And we still will follow Thee. Amen.

Place on the Lord reliance;

My soul, with courage wait:

His truth be thine affiance

When faint and desolate.

His might thy heart shall strengthen,
His love thy joy increase;

Mercy thy days shall lengthen:

The Lord will give thee peace. Amen.
