What happy Men, or Angels, these

Appears in 24 hymnals Topics: Blessedness and Business of Heaven Lyrics: 1 What happy Men, or Angels, these, That all their Robes are spotless white? Whence did this glorious Troop arrive At the pure Realms of Heav'nly Light? 2 From tott'ring Racks and burning Fires, And Seas of their own Blood they came: But nobler Blood has wash'd their Robes, Flowing from Christ the dying Lamb. 3 Now they approach th' Almighty Throne With loud Hosannas Night and Day; Sweet Anthems to the Great Three One, Measure their blest Eternity. 4 No more shall Hunger pain their Souls, He bids their parching Thirst be gone, And spreads the Shadow of his Wings, To screen 'em from the scorching Sun. 5 The Lamb that fills the Middle Throne Shall shed around his milder Beams; There shall they feast on his rich Love, And drink full Joys from living Streams. 6 Thus shall their mighty Bliss renew Through the vast Round of endless Years, And the soft Hand of Sov'reign Grace Heals all their Wounds, and wipes their Tears. Scripture: Revelation 7:13-17
