Little Travelers
LITTLE travelers Zionward,
Soon to enter into rest,
In the kingdom of your Lord,
In the mansions of the blest;
There, to welcome, Jesus waits,
Gives the crown his followers win;
Lift your heads, ye golden gates,
Let the little travelers in.
Who are these, whose little feet,
Passing life's dark journey through,
Soon will reach the heavenly seat,
They have ever kept in view?
" We are those whose willing hands,
Strive our Master's will to do,
Keeping all his ten commands,
' They are holy, just and true.'
" Soon our earthly journey past,
Every tear and pain gone by,
There we all shall meet at last,
At the portal of the sky."
Each the welcome " Come" awaits,
Conquerors over death and sin:
Lift your heads, ye golden gates,
Let the little travelers in.
