LyicsWHO are those arrayed in white,
Brighter than the noonday sun,
Foremost of the sons of light,
Nearest to th' eternal throne?
These are they who bore the cross,
Nobly for their master stood,
Sufferers in his righteous cause,
Followers of their 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.
Ever they are near 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 past,
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.
