294. Around the Throne of God in Heaven

C.M.
1
Around the throne of God in heaven
 
Will many children sing;
 
Children whose sins are all forgiven
 
Will heavenly anthems bring,
 
Singing, "Glory, glory, glory be to God on high."
2
In shining robes of spotless white
 
Each one will be arrayed!
 
Dwelling in everlasting light,
 
And joys that never fade,
3
What brings them to that world above,
 
That heaven so bright and fair,
 
Where all is peace, and joy, and love?
 
How came those children there?
4
Because the Savior shed His blood
 
To wash away their sin;
 
Now washed in that most precious flood,
 
Behold them white and clean,
5
On earth they sought the Savior’s grace,
 
On earth they loved His name;
 
So then they’ll see His blessed face,
 
And praise before the Lamb,
