Blessed servants of God who are fearless

Representative Text

1 Blessed servants of God who are fearless in duty,
And who stand near the foot of the cross,
And who bring to the King in his wonderous beauty,
Many souls who are covered with dross.

Chorus:
They shall shine, they shall shine,
They shall shine in the fadeless forever,
They shall shine, they shall shine,
They shall shine in the crown of our King.

2 They shall join in the song of the blest and forgiven,
They shall vie with the angels that sing;
They shall drink in the joys of the blessed in heaven,
They shall dwell in the home of our King. [Chorus]

3 They shall walk by the side of the lifegiving river,
They shall bathe in its crystalline tide,
And the song they shall sing in its fullness forever,
Is "Hosanna to Jesus, who died." [Chorus]
