Timeless Truths ‎#77

77. The Sea of Glass

1 We stand upon the sea of glass,
That’s mingled with Jehovah’s fire;
Our robes are white, our feet as brass,
We stand upon the foe’s empire.

Refrain:
We stand redeemed upon the sea,
And sound aloud the harps of God;
All glory, praise, dear Lamb, to Thee,
For Thou hast saved us by Thy blood.

2 We bow no more to gods of men,
We shout the vict’ry o’er the beast;
Yea, o’er his mark and o’er his name
We overcome through Jesus Christ. [Refrain]

3 Upon this bright and glowing place
Of heaven’s truth and burning love,
Our souls in glory ever reign,
With all the ransomed host above. [Refrain]

4 In sweet and pure unbroken peace,
Upon the sea we glide along;
Our hearts so full of holy bliss
Flow out in everlasting song. [Refrain]
