¶Lyrics / Text

Lo, round the throne, a glorious band, the saints in countless myriads stand, of every tongue redeemed to God, arrayed in garments washed in blood. Through tribulation great they came; they bore the cross, despised the shame; from all their labours now they rest, in God’s eternal glory blest. They see their Saviour face to face, and sing the triumphs of his grace; him day and night they ceaseless praise, to him the loud thanksgiving raise: ‘Worthy the Lamb, for sinners slain, through endless years to live and reign; thou hast redeemed us by thy blood, and made us kings and priests to God.’ O may we tread the sacred road that saints and holy martyrs trod; wage to the end the glorious strife, and win, like them, a crown of life.
