These Are They

<p>The oceans give up<br/>All the dead that are in them<br/>The graves open wide to set captives free<br/>And those who are roaming the earth<br/>Rise to meet them<br/>Abraham&#x27;s seed as the sands of the sea<br/><br/>These are they who have come<br/>Out of great tribulation<br/>They have washed their robes<br/>In the blood of the Lamb<br/>They have gone through much sorrow<br/>Into great jubilation<br/>They&#x27;re redeemed by the blood of the Lamb<br/><br/>Like a strong, mighty army<br/>Their voices are ringing<br/>The great cloud of witnesses<br/>Sings freedom&#x27;s song<br/>As they enter the country<br/>Built by their own Father<br/>The promised homeland<br/>They&#x27;ve looked for so long<br/>And all the pilgrims and all the strangers<br/>Will be no longer strangers<br/>All the tired and the weary wanderers<br/>They will wander no more<br/>The table is spread for the great celebration<br/>And the &quot;Welcome Home&quot; banner<br/>Flies over the door
