To God and to the Lamb Who is the great "I Am," While millions join the theme, I will sing, I will sing, While millions join the theme, I will sing. 4 And when from death I'm free, I'll sing on, I'll sing on, And when from death I'm free, I'll sing on, And when from death I'm free, I'll sing and joyful be, And thro' eternity I'll sing on, I'll sing on, And thro' eternity I'll sing on.
