“These … came out of great tribulation.” Rev. 7. 14

1 Brethren, those who come to bliss
  Come through sore temptations;
  May we all, remembering this,
  Pray for faith and patience.

2 See the suffering church of Christ,
  Gathered from all quarters;
  All contained in that red list
  Were not murdered martyrs.

3 Th’ Holy Ghost will make the soul
  Feel its sad condition;
  For the sick, and not the whole,
  Need the good Physician.

4 Of that mighty multitude,
  Who of life were winners,
  This we safely may conclude,
  All were wretched sinners.

5 All were loathsome in God’s sight,
  Till the blood of Jesus
  Washed their robes, and made them white;
  Now they sing his praises.
