632 | Revelation 7: 9, 14-15; 5:9-10 | LM | |
LO, round the throne, a glorious band, The saints in countless myriads stand, Of every tongue redeemed to God, Arrayed in garments washed in blood. |
|||
2 | Through tribulation great they came; They bore the cross, despised the shame; From all their labours now they rest, In God’s eternal glory blest. |
||
3 | They see their Saviour face to face, And sing the triumphs of His grace; Him day and night they ceaseless praise, To Him the loud thanksgiving raise: |
||
4 | ‘Worthy the Lamb, for sinners slain, Through endless years to live and reign! Thou hast redeemed us by Thy blood, And made us kings and priests to God.’ |
||
5 | So may we tread the sacred road That saints and holy martyrs trod; Wage to the end the glorious strife, And win, like them, a crown of life. |
||
Rowland Hill, 1744-1833, et al |
