The Voice of Praise ‎#358

358. Sing we the song of those who stand

1 Sing we the song of those who stand
Around th' eternal throne,
Of every kindred, clime, and land
A multitude unknown.

2 Life's poor distinctions vanish here;
To-day the young, the old,
Our Saviour and his flock appear,
One Shepherd and one fold.

3 Toil, trial, suffering still await
On earth the pilgrim throng;
Yet learn we in our low estate
The church triumphant's song.

4 Worthy the Lamb, for sinners slain!--
Cry the redeemed above;
Blessing and honor to obtain,
And everlasting love.

5 Worthy the Lamb!--on earth we sing;
Who died our souls to save;
Henceforth, O death, where is thy sting?
Thy victory, O grave?

6 Then hallelujah! power and praise
To God in Christ be given;
May all who now this anthem raise,
Renew the strain in heaven.
