Do you hear them coming, brother,
Thronging up the steeps of light,
Clad in glorious shining garments,
Blood washed,
garments pure and white?
’Tis a glorious church
without spot or wrinkle,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb;
’Tis a glorious church
without spot or wrinkle,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb.
Do you hear
the stirring anthems,
Filling all the earth and sky,
’Tis a grand, victorious army,
Lift its banner up on high!
’Tis a glorious church
without spot or wrinkle,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb;
’Tis a glorious church
without spot or wrinkle,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb.
Never fear the clouds of sorrow,
Never fear the storms of sin.
We shall triumph on the morrow,
Even now our joys begin.
’Tis a glorious church
without spot or wrinkle,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb;
’Tis a glorious church
without spot or wrinkle,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb.
Wave the banner,
shout His praises,
For our victory is nigh!
We shall join our conqu’ring Savior,
We shall reign with Him on high!
’Tis a glorious church
without spot or wrinkle,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb;
’Tis a glorious church
without spot or wrinkle,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb.
