92. Who Are These Like Stars Appearing?

1 Who are these like stars appearing,
Those before God's throne who stand;
Each a golden crown is wearing,
Who is all this happy band?

Chorus:
Alleluia, Hark! they sing,
Praises to their God and King.
Alleluia, Hark! they sing,
Praises to their God and King.

2 Who are these in dizz'ling brightness,
Cloth'd in God's own righteousness;
These of robes of purest whiteness,
Shall their lustre still possess? [Chorus]

3 Those are they who have contended
For their Savior's honor, long;
Wrestling on till life was ended,
Following not the sinful throng. [Chorus]
