Refrain:

From every nation from every tribe from every tongue
from every nation from every tribe from everywhere
(Thousands of people standing, The heavenly throne surrounding) (2)
coming from every place (2)

Coming from sorrow and grief, Bond and tortured for years
Dressed so nice and clean
(Those who were redeemed, By the Blood were freed) (2)
I saw them relieved, when they were coming.

Before tyrants so great, they defended he faith
Endured suffering and pain, looking for heavenly gain
(Those who were redeemed, By the Blood were freed) (2)
Walked in the Lord’s fear, and hey were coming.

Persecuted for His name, They were killed for His sake
To the Lord their hearts were raised, Their tongues declared their praise
(Those who were redeemed, By the Blood were freed) (2)
Crowns of light they received, When they were coming.

In the midst of fire walking, Inside prisons singing
By the Spirit comforted, and by Jesus guided
(Those who were redeemed, By the Blood were freed) (2)
their blessing we need, and they were coming.

Their bodies were cut with spears, They were brave, never feared
In their eyes I saw tears, In their hearts joy and cheers
(Those who were redeemed, By the Blood were freed) (2)
Departed in peace, And they were coming.

Dressed in white so neat, Ready for the Lord to meet
Voice of welcome they hear, from the saints and angels near
(Those who were redeemed, By the Blood were freed) (2)
saw the glorious scene, when they were coming.
