Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Laudes Domini #28 (1890) Hymnal Title: Laudes Domini First Line: Sing we the song of those who stand Lyrics: 1 Sing we the song of those who stand
Around the eternal throne,
Of every kindred, clime, and land,
A multitude unknown.
2 Life's poor distinctions vanish here:
To-day the young, the old,
Our Saviour and his flock appear
One Shepherd and one fold.
3 Toil, trial, sufferings still await
On earth the pilgrim throng;
Yet learn we in our low estate
The Church Triumphant's song.
4 "Worthy the Lamb for sinners slain,"
Cry the redeemed above;
"Blessing and honor to obtain,
And everlasting love!"
5 "Worthy the Lamb," on earth we sing,
"Who died our souls to save!
Henceforth, O Death! where is thy sting?
Thy victory, O Grave!" Topics: General Praise; God Attributes; Opening of Service; Praise; God Attributes; Opening of Service; Praise Languages: English Tune Title: OAKSVILLE
