WHO ARE THESE
Who are these in glistening raiment
We, by faith, do now behold?
Who have passed through tribulation
To the shelter of the fold?
Whose these robes of dazzling whiteness
In the city paved with gold?
In God's mighty army, one time,
Were their precious names enrolled.
We, by faith, do now behold?
Who have passed through tribulation
To the shelter of the fold?
Whose these robes of dazzling whiteness
In the city paved with gold?
In God's mighty army, one time,
Were their precious names enrolled.
Who are these dear souls found worthy
To be clad in robes of white?
Lonely hearts give best the answer
From the thickest of the fight;
Compassed by these dearly loved ones,
Let us keep our armor bright,
That, when ended is the warfare,
We, with them, may "walk in white."
To be clad in robes of white?
Lonely hearts give best the answer
From the thickest of the fight;
Compassed by these dearly loved ones,
Let us keep our armor bright,
That, when ended is the warfare,
We, with them, may "walk in white."
