Around the throne of God by Francis Duckworth — Lyrics
1 Around the throne of God in heav'n
thousands of children stand,
children whose sins are all forgiv'n,
a holy, happy band,
Refrain:
Singing, "Glory, glory, glory."
2 In flowing robes of spotless white
see ev'ry one arrayed;
dwelling in everlasting light
and joys that never fade, [Refrain]
3 What brought them to that world above,

About Around the throne of God
This moving hymn imagines a heavenly scene where children, washed clean by the Saviour's blood, stand around God's throne. The SATB choir sings in English of their spotless white robes, everlasting light, and eternal peace and joy. The text expresses the profound theme of redemption, highlighting how these children found their way to heaven through faith and love on earth. The refrain, 'Singing, Glory, glory, glory', provides a powerful and repeated affirmation of heavenly praise, making this a suitable piece for services focusing on salvation and eternal reward.
