Lyrics

1. 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.”


2. In flowing robes of spotless white
See everyone arrayed;
Dwelling in everlasting light
And joys that never fade,

Refrain.
Singing, “Glory, glory,
Glory be to God on high.”


3. 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.
Singing, “Glory, glory,
Glory be to God on high.”


4. Because the Savior shed His blood
To wash away their sin;
Bathed in that pure 
and precious flood,
Behold them white and clean,

Refrain.
Singing, “Glory, glory,
Glory be to God on high.”


5. 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.
Singing, “Glory, glory,
Glory be to God on high.”
