I.XLI. The business and blessedness of glorified Saints, or, the martyrs glorified

1 "These glorious minds, how bright they shine!
"Whence all their white array!
"How came they to the happy seats
"Of everlasting day?"

2 From tort'ring pains to endless joys
On fi'ry wheels they rode,
And strangely wash'd their raiment white
In Jesu's dying blood.

3 Now they approach a spotless God,
And bow before his throne;
Their warbling harps and sacred songs
Adore the Holy One.

4 The unveil'd glories of his face
Amongst his saints reside,
While the rich treasure of his grace
Sees all their wants supply'd.

5 Tormenting thirst shall leave their souls,
And hunger flee as fast;
The fruit of life's immortal tree
Shall be their sweet repast.

6 The lamb shall lead his heav'nly flock
Where living fountains rise,
And love divine shall wipe away
The sorrows of their eyes.
