Adapter: Mabel Jones Gabbott
1. Behold a host arrayed in whitewhose robes are washed in heaven’s light;Who serve in temples for their kin,And sacred records write.
2. Lo these are they who surely camethrough tribulation for his name;Who kneel before the throne of Godand bring him praise and fame.
3. They serve the Lord both night and day;All hunger, thirst is gone away;The Lamb is near to dry each tearAnd bless them as they pray.
