Around the throne of God in heaven

Around the throne of God in heaven

Will many children sing;

Children whose sins are all forgiven,

Will heavenly anthems bring,

Chorus:

Singing, “Glory, glory, glory be to God on High!”

In shining robes of spotless white

Each one will be arrayed!

Dwelling in everlasting light,

And joys that never fade;

What brings then to 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 purge away their sin;

Now washed in that most precious flood,

Behold them white and clean!

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.
