Who are these arrayed in white

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 154 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Who are these arrayed in white, Brighter than the noon-day sun? Foremost of the sons of light, Nearest the eternal throne? These are they that bore the cross, Nobly for their Master stood; Sufferers in His righteous cause, Followers of the Lamb of God. 2 Out of great distress they came, Washed their robes by faith below In the blood of yonder Lamb, Blood that washes white as snow; Therefore are they next the throne, Serve their Maker day and night; God resides among His own, God doth in His saints delight. 3 More than conquerors at last, Here they find their trials o'er; They have all their sufferings past, Hunger now and thirst no more; God shall all their sorrows chase, All their wants at once remove, Wipe the tears from every face, Fill up every soul with love.

Saved By Blood, I Live To Tell

Author: John Newton Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 19 hymnals First Line: Saved by blood I live to tell Lyrics: 1 Saved by blood I live to tell, What the love of Christ hath done; He redeemed my soul from hell, Of a rebel made a son: Oh I tremble still, to think How secure I lived in sin; Sporting on destruction’s brink, Yet preserved from falling in. 2 In His own appointed hour, To my heart the Savior spoke, Touched me by His Spirit’s power, And my dangerous slumber broke. Then I saw and owned my guilt, Soon my gracious Lord replied; "Fear not, I My blood have spilt, ’Twas for such as thee I died." 3 Shame and wonder, joy and love, All at once possessed my heart; Can I hope Thy grace to prove, After acting such a part? "Thou hast greatly sinned," He said, "But I freely all forgive; I Myself thy debt have paid, Now I bid thee rise and live." 4 Come, my fellow sinners, try, Jesus’ heart is full of love; Oh that you, as well as I, May His wondrous mercy prove! He has sent me to declare, All is ready, all is free; Why should any soul despair, When He saved a wretch like me? Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE'S WINDSOR Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London, W.

Now is come the promised hour, Jesus reigns with sov’reign pow'r. Come, you nations, join and sing, To the throne your praises bring; Let it sound from shore to shore: "Jesus reigns forevermore." 2 Now the desert lands rejoice, And the islands join their voice; Yes, the whole creation sings, "Jesus is the King of kings." See the ransomed millions stand, Palms of conquest in their hands; This before the throne their strain: "Hell is vanquished, death is slain." 3 Blessing, honor, glory, might Are the Paschal Victim's right; Thrones and pow'rs in homage fall, To the Lamb and Lord of all, Time has nearly reached its sum; Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" Jesus, whom all worlds adore, Come, and reign forevermore. Topics: Second Coming Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE'S WINDSOR
