LyicsWho are these in bright ar-ray,
This ex-ult-ing hap-py throng,
Round the al-tar night and day,
Hymning one tri-umphant song?
"Worthy is the Lamb once slain,
Blessing, hon-or, glo-ry, power,
Wis-dom, rich-es, to ob-tain,
New do-min-ion ev'ry hour.
These through fiery trials trod;
These from great affliction came;
Now, before the throne of God,
Sealed with his almighty name.
Clad in raiment pure and white,
Victor-palms in every hand,
Through their great Redeemer's might,
More than conquerors they stand.
Hunger, thirst, disease unknown,
On immortal fruits they feed;
Them the Lamb, amidst the throne,
Shall to living fountains lead;
Joy and gladness banish sighs;
Perfect love dispels all fears;
And forever from their eyes
God shall wipe away their tears.
