How Bright These Glorious Spirits Shine
"These are they which came out of great tribulation." - Rev 7:14
VERSE 1
How bright these glorious spirits shine!
Whence all their white array?
How came they to the blissful seats
Of everlasting day?
VERSE 2
Lo! these are they from sufferings great
Who came to realms of light;
And in the blood of Christ have washed
Those robes that shine so bright.
VERSE 3
Now with triumphal palms they stand
Before the throne so high,
And serve the God they love amidst
The glories of the sky.
VERSE 4
Hunger and thirst are felt no more,
Nor suns with scorching ray;
God is their Sun, whose cheering beams
Diffuse eternal day.
VERSE 5
The Lamb which dwells amidst the throne,
Shall o'er them still preside,
Feed them with nourishment Divine,
And all their footsteps guide.
VERSE 6
'Midst pastures green He'll lead His flock,
Where living streams appear;
And God the Lord from every eye
Shall wipe off every tear.
VERSE 7
To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
The God whom we adore,
Be glory, as it was, is now,
And shall be evermore.
