Children of the Kingdom

Children of the king­dom

while we jour­ney here

Only for a time ab­id­ing;

Looking un­to Je­sus

ban­ish ev­ery fear

For His eyes our path is guid­ing.

From the land of song

the bright land of song

Listen to the mu­sic gent­ly fall­ing;

Looking un­to Jesus

ban­ish ev­ery fear

For His eyes our path is guid­ing.

Children of the king­dom

press­ing on our way

Never let us fal­ter

nev­er;

Bear the cross for Je­sus

bear it ev­ery day

In His mercy trust­ing ev­er.

From the land of song

the bright land of song

Listen to the mu­sic gent­ly fall­ing;

Bear the cross for Je­sus

bear it ev­ery day

In His mer­cy trust­ing ev­er.

Children of the king­dom

while we watch and wait

Never be dis­cour­aged

nev­er;

Soon our feet will en­ter through the pal­ace gate

And go out no more for­ev­er.

From the land of song

the bright land of song

Listen to the mu­sic gent­ly fall­ing;

Soon our feet will en­ter through the pal­ace gate

And go out no more for­ev­er.

Children of the king­dom

joy­ful let us be

Yonder is the shin­ing riv­er;

There in all His beau­ty we the King shall see

And be­hold His face for­ev­er.

From the land of song

the bright land of song

Listen to the mu­sic gent­ly fall­ing;

There in all His beau­ty we the King shall see

And be­hold His face for­ev­er.
