“They Shall Walk With Me In White”

(Rev. iii, 4.)

Wondrous theme for contemplation,
"They shall walk with Me in white" !
Wondrous hope and expectation,
They are now the sons of light!
Wondrous day in which we're living,
God's free grace to magnify!
Wondrous love! Our God is giving
All! His Son to glorify.

Wondrous work, the work of saving
Contrite ones on every hand!
Wondrous Word, the Spirit using
God's good news for every land!
Wondrous power, the Spirit quickening
Sinners dead in nature's night!
Wondrous grace from heaven descending,
Gathering with Jehovah's might!

Wondrous care our God is taking
Of His loved ones here and there!
Wondrous hopes in them awakening,
Soon to meet Him in the air!
Wondrous patience and long-suffering,
Saints are failing one and all!
Wondrous mercy, never failing,
From their wanderings doth recall!

Wondrous Captain of salvation-
Jesus Christ, the glorified!
Wondrous succor in temptation,
All their needs He hath supplied!
Wondrous death and resurrection,
Heaven now is opened wide!
Wondrous joy in tribulation,
Suffering saints-His waiting bride!

Wondrous journey they are taking
Through this desert waste and wide!
Wondrous pilgrimage they're making
To a home beyond the tide!
Wondrous place the many mansions,
With the blood-washed gathered in!
Wondrous song of all the ransomed,

"Thou hast washed us from our sins"!
Wondrous glory then unfolding,
Mystery of ages past!
Heaven and earth with joy beholding
Him the first and Him the last!
Wondrous joy! 'tis God's salvation,
Satan vanquished, peace restored!
Wondrous name of exultation,
Jesus, Saviour! Jesus, Lord!
