Around the throne of God in Heav’n,
There count­less child­ren stand,
Children whose sins are all for­giv’n,
A ho­ly, hap­py band.

Refrain

Singing, Glo­ry, glo­ry,
Glory be to God on high.

In flow­ing robes of spot­less white
See ev­ery­one ar­rayed;
They dwell in ev­er­last­ing light
And joys that ne­ver fade.

Refrain

What brought them to the world ab­ove,
That Heav’n so bright and fair,
Where all is peace, and joy, and love;
How came those child­ren there?

Refrain

Because the Sav­ior shed His blood
To wash away their sin;
Bathed in that pure and pre­cious flood,
Behold them white and clean.

Refrain

On earth they sought the Sav­ior’s grace,
On earth they loved His name;
So now they see His bless­èd face,
And stand be­fore the Lamb.
