Tis a glorious church!

Do you hear them coming, brother,
Thronging up the steeps of light,
Clad in glorious shining garments,
Blood washed, garments pure and white?

Refrain
’Tis a glorious church without spot or wrinkle,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb;
’Tis a glorious church without spot or wrinkle,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb.

Do you hear the stirring anthems,
Filling all the earth and sky,
’Tis a grand, victorious army,
Lift its banner up on high!
Refrain

Never fear the clouds of sorrow,
Never fear the storms of sin.
We shall triumph on the morrow,
Even now our joys begin.
Refrain

Wave the banner, shout His praises,
For our victory is nigh!
We shall join our conqu’ring Savior,
We shall reign with Him on high!

Refrain

Tis a glorious church without spot or wrinkle,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb;
’Tis a glorious church without spot or wrinkle,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb.

I was able to go to service last Sunday for the first time in several years. First because of the great pain pills Dr. Nicholson gave me, second because of the way Notah and Kerra’s church is designed. It is only a few steps from the parking lot to the church doors and only a couple more to the sanctuary. The pews are separated by an aisle at the sanctuary doors so there is a wide space for walking. BUT the great thing was I could sit right inside on the first pew of the back section. I didn’t have to scootch in between narrowly placed pews. The very best part is that their pews are low so that when I sat on them my legs could extend slightly and rest comfortable on the heels so the front of the pew doesn’t cut of circulating in my knees and lower legs.

This was the first hymn they sang. A Glorious Church without spot or wrinkle! Wow. A Church of God hymn in a little Nazarene congregation!
