What Are These in Bright Array?

What are these in bright ar­ray

This in­nu­mer­able throng

Round the al­tar night and day

Hymning one tri­umph­ant song:

Worthy is the Lamb

once slain

Blessing hon­or

glo­ry

pow­er

Wisdom

rich­es

to ob­tain

New do­min­ion ev­ery hour.

These through fie­ry tri­als trod;

These from great af­flict­ion came;

Now be­fore the throne of God

Sealed with His al­migh­ty name;

Clad in rai­ment pure and white

Victor-palms in ev­ery hand

Through their dear Re­deem­er’s might

More than con­quer­ors they stand.

Hunger

thirst

dis­ease

un­known

On im­mor­tal fruits they feed;

Them

the Lamb amidst the throne

Shall to liv­ing fount­ains lead:

Joy and glad­ness ban­ish sighs;

Perfect love dis­pels all fears;

And for ev­er from their eyes

God shall wipe away the tears.
