The New Sabbath School Hosanna ‎#130

130. Who are these in bright array?

1 Who are those in bright array?
This innumerable throng,
Round the altar night and day
Tuning their triumphant song?
Worthy is the Lamb once slain,
Blessing, honor, glory, power,
Wisdom, riches, to obtain,
New dominion, every hour.

2 These through fiery trials trod;
These from great affliction came,
Now before the throne of God,
Seal'd with his eternal Name;
Clad in raiment pure and white,
Victor palms in every hand,
Through their dear Redeemer's might,
More than conquerors they stand.

3 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 their fears,
And forever from their eyes
God shall wipe away their tear
