Bill These Are They song lyrics

The oceans give up all the dead that are in them.

The graves open wide to set captives free.

And those who are roaming the earth rise to meet them,

Abraham's seed as the sands of the sea.

These are they who have come out of great tribulation.

They have washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb.

They have come through much sorrow into great jubilation.

They're redeemed by the blood of the Lamb.

Like a strong, mighty army, their voices are ringing.

The great cloud of witnesses, sing freedom's song.

As they enter the country built by their own Father,

The promised homeland they've looked for so long.

All the strangers and all the pilgrims are no longer strangers.

All the tired, weary wand'rers, they wander no more.

The table is spread for the great celebration

And the welcome home banner flies over the door.

These are they who have come out of great tribulation.

They have washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb.

They have come through much sorrow into great jubilation.

They're redeemed by the blood of the Lamb.

They're redeemed by the blood of the Lamb, the Lamb!
