Joy in Hope

1Children of the heavenly King,
As ye journey sweetly sing;
Sing your Savior's worthy praise,
Glorious in his works and ways.

2We are traveling home to God,
In the way the fathers trod;
They are happy now and we
Soon their happiness shall see.

3Shout ye little flock, and blest,
You near Jesus throne shall rest;
There your seats are now prepared,
There your kingdom and reward.

4Fear not, brethren, joyful stand
On the borders of your land;
Jesus Christ, your Father's son,
Bids you undismay'd co on.
