We are child­ren of a king,
Heav’nly king, heav’n­ly king;
We are child­ren of a king,
Singing as we jour­ney;
Jesus Christ our guard and guide,
Bids us, no­thing ter­ri­fied,
Follow closel­y at His side,
Singing as we jour­ney.

We are tra­vel­ing to our home,
Blessèd home, bless­èd home;
We are tra­vel­ing to our home,
Singing as we jour­ney;
Tow’rd a ci­ty out of sight
Where will fall no shade of night,
For our Sav­ior is its light,
Singing as we jour­ney.

Full of joy we on­ward go,
Heav’nward go, heav’n­ward go;
Full of joy we on­ward go,
Singing as we jour­ney;
Singing all the jour­ney thro’—
Singing hearts are brave and true—
Singing till our home we view,
Singing as we jour­ney.
