390. Around The Throne

1 Around the throne of God in heav'n,
Thousands of children stand
Children whose sins are all forgiv'n,
A holy, happy band,
Singing "Glory, Glory,
Glory be to God on high.

2 In flowing robes of spotless white,
See ev'ry one arrayed;
Dwelling in everlasting light,
And joys that never fade,
Singing, "Glory, Glory,
Glory be to God on high!

3 What bro't them to that world above,
That heav'n so bright and fair,
Where all is peace and joy and love?
How came those children there?
Singing, "Glory, Glory,
Glory be to God on high!

4 Because the Savior shed His blood
To wash away their sin:
Cleans'd in that pure and precious flood,
Behold them white and clean!
Singing, "Glory, Glory,
Glory be to God on high!

5 On earth they sought the Savior's grace,
On earth they loved His Name;
So now they see His blessed face,
And stand before the Lamb,
Singing, "Glory, Glory,
Glory be to God on high!
