Through endless years to live and reign;
You have redeemed us by your blood
And made us kings and priests to God."

Like thousand snow-clad mountains bright;
With palms they stand. Who is this band
Before the throne of light?

Who from the great affliction came
And in the flood Of Jesus' blood
Are cleansed from guilt and blame.
Now gathered in the holy place,
Their voices they in worship raise.
Their anthems swell Where God does dwell
Mid angels' songs of praise.
2 Despised and scorned, they sojourned here;
But now, how glorious they appear!
Those martyrs stand, A priestly band,
God's throne forever near.
So oft in troubled days gone by,
In anguish they would weep and sigh;
At home above The God of love
Fore'er their tears shall dry.
They now enjoy the Sabbath rest,
The heav'nly banquet of the blest;
The Lamb, their Lord, At festive board
Himself is host and guest.

Are lit with rays from Thee.

Who wear the spotless raiment,
Who raise the ceaseless song;

Savior, we Thee adore,
And walking in their footsteps,
Would serve Thee more and more.

And praise we God the Son,
And God the Holy Spirit,
Eternal Three in One;
Till all the ransomed number
Fall down before the throne,
And honor, pow'r, and glory
Ascribe to God alone.

A kingly crown to gain.

Triumphant over pain,
Who patient bears his cross below,
He follows in His train.

Could pierce beyond the grave,
Who saw his Master in the sky
And called on Him to save.
Like Him, with pardon on His tongue,
In midst of mortal pain,
He prayed for them that did the wrong,
Who follows in his train?
3 A glorious band, the chosen few,
On whom the Spirit came,
Twelve valiant saints; their hope they knew
And mocked the cross and flame.
They met the tyrant's brandished steel,
The lion's gory mane;
They bowed their necks the death to feel,
Who follows in their train?
4 A noble army, men and boys,
The matron and the maid,
Around the Savior's throne rejoice,
In robes of light arrayed.
They climbed the steep ascent of heav'n
Through peril, toil, and pain.
O God, to us may grace be giv'n
To follow in their train!

Songs that ne'er to mortal ears were granted.

Lead us forth and cast this world behind us.

Finds the soul its joy and rest appointed. Languages: English Tune Title: O WIE SELIG

Of vict'ry in their death.

Yet nightly pitch my moving tent
A day's march nearer home.

At times to faith's foreseeing eye
Thy golden gates appear!

To reach the land I love,
The bright inheritance of saints,
Jerusalem above!

O Father, 'tis Thy will.
The promise of that faithful word
E'en here to me fulfil.
6 Be Thou at my right hand,
Then can I never fail.
Uphold Thou me, and I shall stand;
Fight Thou, and I'll prevail.
7 So when my dying breath
Shall set my spirit free,
By death I shall escape from death
To endless life with Thee.
8 Knowing as I am known;
How shall I love that word
And oft repeat before the throne,
"Forever with the Lord!"

Throng up the steeps of light.

Fling open wide the golden gates
And let the victors in.

Fills all the earth and sky!
What ringing of a thousand harps
Proclaims the triumph nigh!
O day, for which creation
And all its tribes were made;
O joy, for all its former woes
A thousandfold repaid!
3 O then what raptured greetings
On Canaan's happy shore;
What knitting severed friendships up
Where partings are no more!
Then eyes with joy shall sparkle
That brimmed with tears of late;
Orphans no longer fatherless
Nor widows desolate.
4 Bring near Thy great salvation,
Thou Lamb for sinners slain;
Fill up the roll of Thine elect,
Then take Thy pow'r and reign.
Appear, Desire of Nations;
Thine exiles long for home.
Show in the heav'ns Thy promised sign;
Thou Prince and Savior, come!
