Lo! round the throne, a glorious band

Author: Mary L. Duncan Appears in 93 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lo! round the throne, a glorious band, The saints in countless myriads stand; Of every tongue redeemed to God, Arrayed in garments washed in blood. 2 Through tribulation great they came; They bore the cross, despised the shame; But now from all their labors rest In God's eternal glory blest. 3 They see the Saviour face to face; They sing the triumph of his grace; And day and night, with ceaseless praise, To him their loud hosannas raise. 4 O may we tread the sacred road That holy saints and martyrs trod, Wage to the end the glorious strife, And win, like them, a crown of life!

Author: William C. Bryant Appears in 174 hymnals First Line: Look from thy sphere of endless day Lyrics: 1 Look from thy sphere of endless day, O God of mercy and of might! In pity look on those who stray, Benighted in this land of light. 2 In peopled vale, in lonely glen, In crowded mart, by stream or sea, How many of the sons of men Hear not the message sent from thee! 3 Send forth thy heralds, Lord, to call The thoughtless young, the hardened old, A scattered, homeless flock, till all Be gathered to thy peaceful fold. 4 Send them thy mighty word to speak, Till faith shall dawn, and doubt depart, To awe the bold, to stay the weak, And bind and heal the broken heart. 5 Then all these wastes, a dreary scene, That makes us sadden as we gaze, Shall grow with living waters green, And lift to heaven the voice of praise.
