Around the throne of God in heaven
Around the throne of God iun heaven
shall countless children stand,
children whose sins are all forgiven,
a holy, happy band;
singing glory, glory,
glory be to God on high!
In flowing robes of spotless white
shall each one be arrayed;
shall dwell in everlasting light,
and joys that never fade.
singing glory, glory,
glory be to God on high!
How shall they reach that world above,
that heaven so bright and fair,
where all is peace and joy and love
how came those children there?
Because the Savior shed his blood
to wash away their sin;
bathed in that pure and precious flood
behold them white and clean,
singing glory, glory,
glory be to God on high!
On earth they sought their Savior's grace,
on earth they loved his Name!
At last they see his blessed face,
and stand before the Lamb;
singing glory, glory,
glory be to God on high!
