Hymn 1:41. The same; or, The martyrs glorified, Rev. 7. 13 &c.

← Hymns and Spiritual Songs

1 "These glorious minds, how bright they shine "Whence all their white array? "How came they to the happy seats "Of everlasting day?"

2 From tort'ring pains to endless joys On fiery wheels they rode, And strangely wash'd their raiment white In Jesus' dying blood.

3 Now they approach a spotless God, And bow before his throne Their warbling harps and sacred songs Adore the Holy One.

4 The unveil'd glories of his face Amongst his saints reside, While the rich treasure of his grace Sees all their wants supply'd.

5 Tormenting thirst shall leave their souls, And hunger flee as fast; The fruit of life's immortal tree Shall be their sweet repast.

6 The Lamb shall lead his heavenly flock Where living fountains rise, And love divine shall wipe away The sorrows of their eyes.
