28
ON THE VISION OF ST. JOHN,
John saw a countless band,
From every clime and land,
Redeemed from among men, heaven's presence fill;
All clothed in robes of light,
By Jesus' blood made white
In Calvary's stream, that fountain open still.
From every clime and land,
Redeemed from among men, heaven's presence fill;
All clothed in robes of light,
By Jesus' blood made white
In Calvary's stream, that fountain open still.
In Christian virtues fair,
They Jesus' image bear,
In spirit and in truth and heavenly love;
Till, having left below
All for his sake, they go
To join the hosts of his redeemed above.
They Jesus' image bear,
In spirit and in truth and heavenly love;
Till, having left below
All for his sake, they go
To join the hosts of his redeemed above.
