There Is a Higher Throne

There is a higher throne
Than all this world has known
Where faithful ones from every tongue
Will one day come
Before the son we'll stand
Made faultless through the lamb
Believing hearts find promised grace
Salvation comes

Hear heaven's voices sing
Their thunderous anthem rings
Through emerald courts and sapphire skies
Their praises rise

All glory, wisdom, power
Strength, thanks and honour are
To god our king who reigns on high
For evermore

And there we'll find our home
Our life before the throne
We'll honour him in perfect song
Where we belong
He'll wipe each tear-stained eye
As thirst and hunger die
The lamb comes as our shepherd king
We'll reign with him.
