Their anthems swell where God doth dwell

’Mid angels’ songs of praise.

Despised and scorned, they sojourned here,

But now, how glorious they appear!

These martyrs stand a priestly band,

God’s throne forever near.

So oft, in troubled days gone by,

In anguish they would weep and sigh;

At home above, the God of love

The tears of all shall dry.
