Author: Anne Houlditch Shepherd Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #653 (1926) First Line: Around the throne of God in heav'n Refrain First Line: Singing glory, glory Lyrics: 1 Around the throne of God in heav'n,
Thousands of children stand;
Children whose sins are all forgiv'n,
A holy, happy band,
Refrain:
Singing, Glory, Glory,
Glory be to God on high!
2 In flowing robes of spotless white
See every one arrayed;
Dwelling in everlasting light,
And joys that never fade. [Refrain]
3 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]
4 Because the Saviour shed His blood
To wash away their sin;
Bathed in that pure and precious flood,
Behold them white and clean! [Refrain]
5 On earth they sought the Saviour's grace,
On earth they loved His Name;
So now they see His blessèd face,
And stand before the Lamb. [Refrain]
Amen. Topics: Children's Hymns Languages: English Tune Title: CHILDREN'S PRAISES
