Text:These glorious minds, how bright they shine
Tune:INDOSTAN

23. These glorious minds, how bright they shine

These glorious minds, how bright they shine,
Whence all their white array?
How came they to the happy seats
Of everlasting day?

From tort'ring pains to endless joys
On fiery wheels they rode,
And strangely wash'd their garments white
In Jesus' dying blood.
