376 Around the Throne of God in Heaven Children's Praises 868667 HENRY E. MATTHEWS 4 4 4 1. Around the throne of God in heaven Thou-sands of children stand, Children whose sins are all for given, A ho ly, happy band, Sing-ing "Glory, glo- ry, Glory be to God on high." A-men. 2 What brought them to that world above, That heaven so bright and fair, Where all is peace, and joy, and love? Singing "Glory, glory, Glory be to God on high." 3 Because the Saviour shed His blood To wash away their sin; Bathed in that pure and precious flood, Behold them white and clean, Singing "Glory, glory, Glory be to God on high," 4 On earth they sought their Saviour's grace, On earth they loved His Name: So now they see His blessed face, Singing "Glory, glory, Glory be to God on high." Amen. ANNE HOULDITCH SHEPHERD 377 There's a Friend for Little Children In Memoriam 8676 7676 T JOHN STAINER 1.
