And brake our iron chains ;

From everlasting pains.

1 shine I
Whence all their white array ?
How came they to the happy seats
Of everlasting day ?

On fiery wheels they rode ;
And strangely washed their raiments white
In Jesus’ dying blood.
3 Now they approach a spotless God,
And bow before his throne ;
Their warbling hearts and sacred songs
Adore the holy one.
4 The unveiled glories of his face
Amongst his saints reside ;
While the rich treasure of his grace
Sees all their wants supplied.
5 Tormenting thirst shall leave their souls,
And hunger flees as fast;
The fruit of life’s immortal tree
Shall be their sweet repast
