There is a higher throne Than all this world has known Where faithful ones from every tongue Will one day come Before the son we'll stand Made faultless through the lamb Believing hearts find promised grace Salvation comes Hear heaven's voices sing Their thunderous anthem rings Through emerald courts and sapphire skies Their praises rise All glory, wisdom, power Strength, thanks and honour are To god our king who reigns on high For evermore And there we'll find our home Our life before the throne We'll honour him in perfect song Where we belong He'll wipe each tear-stained eye As thirst and hunger die The lamb comes as our shepherd king We'll reign with him.
