THE CHURCH
CONGREGATIONAL HYMNS

D.C.M R. C. H. 223

by WILLIAM CAMERON (?), 1751-1811,

How bright these glorious spirits shine
These are those that their germents have been wash by the blood of Lamb
Rev. 7:14
How bright these glorious spirits shine!
Whence all their white array?
How came they to the blissful seats
Of everlasting day?
Lo! These are they, from sufferings great
Who came to realms of light,
And in the blood of Christ have washed
Those robes which shine so bright.
Now, with triumphal palms, they stand
Before the throne on high,
And seve the God they love, amidst
The glories of the sky.
His presence fills each heart with joy,
Tunes every mouth to sing:
By day, by night, the sacred courts
With glad hosannas ring.
As in SCOTTISH PARAPHRASES, 1781.
