The New Church Hymnal ‎#474

474. A Glorious Church

1 Do you hear them coming brother,
Thronging up the steeps of light,
Clad in glorious shining garments,
Blood-washed garments pure and white?

Refrain:
'Tis a glorious Church without spot or wrinkle,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb;
'Tis a glorious Church, without spot of wrinkle,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb.

2 Do you hear the stirring anthems
Filling all the earth and sky,
'Tis a grand, victorious army.
Lift its banner up on high! [Refrain]

3 Never fear the clouds of sorrow,
Never fear the storms of sin,
We shall triumph on the morrow,
Even now our joys begin. [Refrain]

4 Wave the banner, shout His praises,
Four our victory is nigh!
We shall join our conqu'ring Saviour,
We shall reign with Him on high! [Refrain]
