How bright these glorious spirits shine!

Author: Dr. Isaac Watts, 1674-1748; W. Cameron, 1751-1811 Appears in 156 hymnals Hymnal Title: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book Lyrics: 1 How bright these glorious spirits shine! Whence all their white array? How came they to the blissful seats Of everlasting day? 2 Lo! these are they from sufferings great, Who came to realms of light, And in the blood of Christ have washed Those robes which shine so bright 3 Now, with triumphal palms, they stand Before the throne on high, And serve the God they love, amidst The glories of the sky. 4 The Lamb which dwell amidst the throne Shall o'er them still preside; Feed them with nourishment divine, And all their footsteps guide. 5 In pastures green He'll lead His flock, Where living streams appear; And God the Lord from every eye Shall wipe off every tear. Topics: The Christian Life Time, Death, Eternity; Heaven Freedom from sin and sorrow; Heaven Glory of; Saints Triumphant Used With Tune: BEATITUDO

Hymnal Title: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for the Use of Universalist Societies and Families 16ed. Author of "How bright the glorious spirits shine" in A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for the Use of Universalist Societies and Families 16ed. In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
