Around the throne of God in heaven

From Oremus Hymnal

Around the throne of God in heaven
thousands of children stand,
children whose sins are all forgiven,
a holy, happy band,
singing, 'Glory, glory, glory!'

In flowing robes of spotless white
see everyone arrayed,
dwelling in everlasting light,
and joys that never fade,
singing, 'Glory, glory, glory!'

What brought them to that world above,
that heaven so bright and fair,
where all is peace, and joy, and love?
How came those children there,
singing, 'Glory, glory, glory!'

On earth they sought their Savior's grace,
on earth they loved His name;
so now they see His blessèd face,
and stand before the Lamb,
singing, 'Glory, glory, glory!'
