RCCG Hymn 774
King of Saints, to Whom the Number
"The Lord knoweth them that are His." - 2 Tim 2:19
King of Saints, to whom the number, Of Thy starry host is known, Many a name, by man forgotten Lives for ever round Thy throne.
Lights, which earth-born mists have darken'd. There are shining full and clear Princes in the courts of heaven, Nameless, unremembered here.
How they toil'd for Thee and suffer'd: None on earth can now record: All their saintly life is hidden In the knowledge of their Lord.
All is veiled from us, but written In the Lamb's great book of life, All the faith, and prayer, and patience, All the toiling, and the strife.
There are told Thy hidden treasures, Number us, O Lord, with them, When Thou makest up the jewels Of Thy living diadem.
