Our Great Redeemer's Praise ‎#397

397. A Glorious Church

1 Do you hear them coming, brother,
thronging up the steeps of light,
clad in glorious, shining garments—
blood-washed garments pure and white?

Refrain:
'Tis a glorious church without spot or wrinkle,
washed in the blood of the Lamb.
'Tis a glorious church without spot of wrinkle,
washed in the blood of the Lamb.

2 Do you hear the stirring anthems
filling all the earth and sky?
'Tis a grand, victorious army,
lift its banner up on high! [Refrain]

3 Never fear the clouds of sorrow;
never fear the storms of sin.
We shall triumph on the morrow;
even now our joys begin. [Refrain]

4 Wave the banner, shout His praises,
for our victory is nigh!
We shall join our conqu'ring Savior;
we shall reign with Him on high! [Refrain]
