This Are They 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 gone 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

Sings freedom’s song

As they enter the country

Built by their own Father,

The promised homeland

They’ve looked for so long

And all the pilgrims and all the strangers

Will be no longer strangers

All the tired and the weary wanderers,

They will wander no more

The table is spread for the great celebration,

And the “Welcome Home” banner

Flies over the door
