King of Saints, to Whom the Number
"The Lord knoweth them that are His." - 2 Tim 2:19
VERSE 1
King of Saints, to whom the number,
Of Thy starry host is known,
Many a name, by man forgotten
Lives for ever round Thy throne.
VERSE 2
Lights, which earth-born mists have darken'd.
There are shining full and clear
Princes in the courts of heaven,
Nameless, unremembered here.
VERSE 3
How they toil'd for Thee and suffer'd:
None on earth can now record:
All their saintly life is hidden
In the knowledge of their Lord.
VERSE 4
All is veiled from us, but written
In the Lamb's great book of life,
All the faith, and prayer, and patience,
All the toiling, and the strife.
VERSE 5
There are told Thy hidden treasures,
Number us, O Lord, with them,
When Thou makest up the jewels
Of Thy living diadem.
