The Hymnal ‎#450

450. Around the throne of God in heaven

1 Around the throne of God in heaven
Thousands of children stand,
Children whose sins are all forgiven,
A holy, happy band,

Refrain:
Singing, "Glory, glory, glory be to God on high."

2 What brought them to that world above,
That heaven so bright and fair,
Where all is peace, and joy, and love;
How came those children there, [Refrain]

3 On earth they sought the Saviour's grace,
On earth they loved His Name;
So now they see His blessed face,
And stand before the Lamb, [Refrain]

Amen.
