From all their labors now they rest In God's eternal glory blest. 3 They see their Savior face to face And sing the triumphs of his grace. Each day and night they sing his praise, To him the loud thanksgiving raise: 4 "Worthy the Lamb, for sinners slain, Through endless years to live and reign; You have redeemed us by your blood And made us kings and priests to God." 5 Oh, may we tread the sacred road That saints and holy martyrs trod, Wage to the end the glorious strife, And win, like them, a crown of life.

Who is this band Before the throne of light? These are the saints of glorious fame, Who from the great affliction came And in the flood Of Jesus' blood Are cleansed from guilt and blame. Now gathered in the holy place, Their voices they in worship raise. Their anthems swell Where God does dwell Mid angels' songs of praise. 2 Despised and scorned, they sojourned here; But now, how glorious they appear! Those martyrs stand, A priestly band, God's throne forever near. So oft in troubled days gone by, In anguish they would weep and sigh; At home above The God of love Fore'er their tears shall dry. They now enjoy the Sabbath rest, The heav'nly banquet of the blest; The Lamb, their Lord, At festive board Himself is host and guest. 3 [Text copyrighted] Languages: English Tune Title: GREAT WHITE HOST

O Love of God release us all. 4 All praise to God the Father be, All praise to thee, eternal Son; All praise, O Holy Ghost, to thee, While never-ending ages run. Amen.

Jesus, holy Child from heaven

Hymnal: The Sunday School Hymnal #288 (1899) Topics: Martyrs Lyrics: 1 Jesus, holy Child from heaven, Thou for children wast a child; Infant martyrs gathered round Thee, And, unconscious, for Thee died. Not by speaking, but by dying, Slaughtered babes proclaim Thy praise, 2 Hail, sweet band of lovely infants, Welcoming the holy Child, First-fruits of His martyr-glory, Innocent and meek and mild. Not by willing, but by dying, They gave up their all for Thee, Not by willing, but by dying, They gave up their all for Thee. 3 Jesus, holy Child from heaven, Who for children wast a child, Lambs upon Thine altar laying, Make us humble, meek, and mild, That in living and in dying We may evermore be Thine, That in living and in dying We may evermore be Thine.

He could not stop the Savior's path. Alone, while others murdered lay, In safety Christ is borne away. 4 O Lord, the virgin-born, we sing Eternal praise to you, our King, Whom with the Father we adore And Holy Spirit evermore.
