They Come!

Topics: classic

From North and South, and East and West,         They come!     The sorely tried, the much oppressed,     Their Faith and Love to manifest,         They come!     They come to tell of work well done,     They come to tell of kingdoms won,     To worship at the Great White Throne,         They come!     In a noble consecration,     With a sound of jubilation.         They come! They come!     Through tribulations and distress,         They come!     Through perils great and bitterness,     Through persecutions pitiless,         They come!     They come by paths the martyrs trod,     They come from underneath the rod,     Climbing through darkness up to God,         They come!     Out of mighty tribulation,     With a sound of jubilation,         They come! They come!     From every land beneath the sun,         They come!     To tell of mighty victories won;     Unto the Father through the Son,         They come!     They come--the victors in the fight,     They come--the blind restored to sight,     From deepest Darkness into Light;         They come!     In a holy exaltation,     With a sound of jubilation,         They come! They come!
