These are they, O God, Who came out of great tribulation And have washed their robes white. Oh, holy triumph of those Who have endured the fire And the tempest’s rage and, delivered, Stand exalted in this very hour, Purged, sanctified, and satisfied. These are they who have surrendered All the vanities of mortal selfhood, And serve Thee Day and night in Thy temple, Lifting others to behold The tearless, ageless, deathless reality Of Thy glory.
