Round the throne in glo­ry
Happy children throng,
And re­demp­tion’s story
Wakes the harp and song.
On the verdant mountain,
By the shining stream,
O the living fountain,
Jesus is their theme.

Refrain

Round the throne in glo­ry,
Thousands of children stand,
Singing with the angels
In that happy land,
Voices sweetly blending
As they joyful sing,
Glory be for­ev­er
To our heav’nly king.

Robes of snowy whiteness,
Beautiful and rare;
Crowns of radiant brightness,
Such those children wear.
Safe from death, bereavement,
Sorrow and the grave;
Safe from sin’s enslavement,
Victory’s palm they wave.

Refrain

Children now sojourning
In a world of sin;
From your follies turning,
Strive to enter in;
Let your young affections
Round your Sav­ior twine,
And ’mid Heav’n’s attractions,
Ye shall sing and shine.

Refrain
