Lo! round the throne, a glorious band,
The saints in countless myriads stand;
Of every tongue redeemed to God,
|:Arrayed in garments washed in blood.:|
Through tribulation great they came;
They bore the cross, despised the shame;
But now from all their labors rest,
|:In God’s eternal glory blest.:|
They see the Savior face to face;
They sing the triumph of His grace;
And day and night, with ceaseless praise,
|:To Him their loud hosannas raise.:|
“Worthy the Lamb, for sinners slain,
Through endless years to live and reign;
Thou hast redeemed us by Thy blood,
|:And made us kings and priests to God.”:|
O may we tread the sacred road
That holy saints and martyrs trod;
Wage to the end the glorious strife,
|:And win, like them, a crown of life!:|
