How bright these glorious spirits shine!

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 158 hymnals Topics: Christ Shepherd Lyrics: 1 How bright these glorious spirits shine! Whence all their white array? How came they to the blissful seats Of everlasting day? Lo! these are they from suff'rings great Who came to realms of light, And in the blood of Christ have washed Those robes which shine so bright. 2 Now, with triumphal palms, they stand Before the throne on high, And serve the God they love, amidst The glories of the sky. His presence fills each heart with joy, Tunes ev'ry mouth to sing: By day, by night, the sacred courts With glad hosannas ring. 3 Hunger and thirst are felt no more, Nor suns with scorching ray; God is their Sun, whose cheering beams Diffuse eternal day. The Lamb which dwells amidst the throne Shall o'er them still preside, Feed them with nourishment divine, And all their footsteps guide. 4 'Mong pastures green he'll lead his flock Where living streams appear; And God the Lord from ev'ry eye Shall wipe off ev'ry tear. To him who sits upon the throne, The God whom we adore, And to the Lamb that once was slain, Be glory evermore! Amen. Scripture: Revelation 7:13-17 Used With Tune: BETHLEHEM Text Sources: Scottish Paraphrases,, 1781
