Hymn 811 – WHO are these like stars appearing | C&S English Hymnary

1. WHO are these like stars appearing These before God’s throne who stand Each a golden crown is wearing Who are all this glorious band? Hallelujah! hark they sing Praising loud their heavenly King. 2. Who are these in dazzling brightness Clothed in God's own righteousness These, whose robes of purest whiteness Shall their lustre still possess Still untouch'd by time'es rude hand? Whence come all this glorious hand? 3. These are they who have contended For their Saviour honour long Resting on till life was ended Following not the sinful throng Those, who well the fight sustained Triumph by the Lamb have gained. 4. These are they whose heart were riven Sore with woe and anguish tried Who in pray’r full oft have striven With the God they glorified Now, their painful conflict o’er God has bid them weep no more. 5. These are they who watch’d and waited Offering up to Christ their will Soul and body consecrated Day and Night to serve Him still Now in God’s most holy place Blest they stand before His face AMEN
