Around the throne of God in heaven (309)

Around the throne of God in heaven,
Thousands of children stand,
Children, whose sins are all forgiven,
A holy happy band,
Singing "Glory, glory, glory be to God on high!"

In flowing robes of spotless white,
See every one arrayed,
Dwelling in everlasting light,
And joys that never fade,
Singing "Glory, glory, glory be to God on high!"

What brought them to that world above,
That heaven so bright and fair,
Where all is peace and joy and love-
How came those children there,
Singing "Glory, glory, glory be to God on high!"

Because the Saviour shed His blood,
To wash away their sin,
Behold, they stand before their God
In garments white and clean,
Singing "Glory, glory, glory be to God on high!"
