CXXVI.
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.
O ye banish'd seed, be glad ! Christ our Advocate is made ; Us to save, our flesh assumes ; Brother to our souls becomes.
Shout, ye little flock, and blest ! You on Jesus' Throne shall rest; There your seat is now prepared, There your kingdom and reward.
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 ! obediently we go, Gladly leaving all below : Only Thou our Leader be, And we still will follow Thee ! |
