Numberless as the sand of the sea-shore, Numberless as the sand of the shore; Oh, what a sight ‘twill be, When the ransomed host we see, As numberless as the sand of the sea-shore.

When we see all the sav'd of the ages, Who from cruel death partings are free, Greeting there with a heavenly greeting, What a wonderful sight that will be.

Numberless as the sand of the sea-shore, Numberless as the sand of the shore; Oh, what a sight ‘twill be, When the ransomed host we see, As numberless as the sand of the sea-shore.
