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! Sion' s city is in sight; There our endless home shall be, Where 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. |
Stirpis proles Regiae, dulce euntes canite; laus Salvanti digna sit, mira mire qui facit. Nos redimus ad Deum in vestigiis patrum; gaudent ei, nec minus mox felices erimus. Ecce! Lucis filii, Sion conspicamini; ibi aeterna erit domus et videbitur Deus. Fratres, ne timete! lam state iuxta patriam; non, quem idem genuit, absterreri vos sinit. Tibi nos parebimus spretis saecularibus: duxeris, ducemque te nos sequemur, Domine. |
