997. Who are these in bright array

1 Who are these in bright array,
This exulting, happy throng,
Round the altar night and day,
Singing one triumphant song?

Chorus:
Clean robes, white robes
Robes for the righteous,
Robes for the righteous,
Wait in the vestry of the Lord,
White robes wait for me.

2 These through fiery trials trod;
These through great afflictions came;
Now before the throne of God,
Sealed with his almighty name; [Chorus]

3 Clad in raiment pure and white,
Victor palms in every hand,
Through their great Redeemer's might,
More than conquerors they stand. [Chorus]

4 Joy and gladness banish sighs;
Perfect love dispels all fears;
And forever from their eyes
God shall wipe away their tears. [Chorus]
