1 Around the throne of God in heaven,
Thousands of children stand,
Children whose sins are all forgiven,
A holy, happy band
Refrain:
Singing glory, glory,
Glory be to God on high.
2 In flowing robes of spotless white
See every one arrayed;
Dwelling in everlasting light,
And joys that never fade. [Refrain]
3 What brought them to that world above,
That heaven so bright and fair,
Where all is peace, and joy, and love;--
How came those children there? [Refrain]
4 Because the Saviour shed His blood,
To wash away their sin;
Bathed in that pure and precious flood,
Behold them white and clean! [Refrain]
5 On earth they sought the Saviour's grace,
On earth they loved His name;
So now they see His blessèd face,
And stand before the Lamb. [Refrain]
Amen.
