LyicsWho 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 dying Lord.
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.
More than conquerors at last,
Here they find their trials o'er;
They have all their sufferings passed--
Hunger now and thirst no more.
No excessive heat they feel
From the sun's directer ray:
In a milder clime they dwell--
Region of eternal day.
He that on the throne doth reign,
Them the Lamb shall always feed--
With the tree of life sustain--
To the living fountains lead.
He shall all their sorrows chase--
All their wants at once remove,
Wipe the tears from every face--
Fill up every soul with love.
