Music: Children’s Praises, arranged by , 1841.
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.”
In flowing robes of spotless white
See everyone arrayed;
Dwelling in everlasting light
And joys that never fade,
Refrain
What brought them to the world above,
That Heaven so bright and fair,
Where all is peace, and joy, and love;
How came those children there,
Refrain
Because the Savior shed His blood
To wash away their sin;
Bathed in that pure and precious flood,
Behold them white and clean,
Refrain
On earth they sought the Savior’s grace,
On earth they loved His Name;
So now they see His blessèd face,
And stand before the Lamb,
Refrain
