  Around the throne of God in heaven, Thousands of children stand, Children whose sins are all forgiven, A holy, happy band. What brought them to that world above, That heaven so bright and fair, Where all is peace and joy and love? How came those children there? On earth they sought the Savior’s grace, On earth they loved his name; So now they see his blessed face, And stand before the Lamb. —Annie H. Shepherd.
