The Gaither Vocal Band has long been celebrated for its rich harmonies and gospel-inspired messages, and their song "These Are They" stands as a testament to their enduring legacy. This powerful piece encapsulates themes of faith, resilience, and the promise of eternal life, resonating deeply with audiences of diverse backgrounds. The lyrics recount a profound story of hope, detailing the journey of believers as they navigate trials and tribulations in their earthly lives.
The song's emotional depth is amplified by the vocalists' passionate delivery, which conveys a sense of urgency and sincerity. Each member of the band brings unique strengths to the performance, blending their voices in a way that lifts the listener's spirit while inviting reflection on the teachings of Christ. The arrangement is both stirring and reverent, merging traditional gospel elements with contemporary musical influences, making "These Are They" a cross-generational anthem that inspires and uplifts.
The Gaither Vocal Band was founded in the early ’80s by renowned Christian music leader Bill Gaither. GVB became one of America’s leading southern gospel vocal groups. While Bill Gaither remained the only original member of the ensemble, many well-regarded CCM/gospel singers have passed through the band’s ranks, including Russ Taff, Guy Penrod, Wes Hampton, Michael English, Mark Lowry, and David Phelps. Today, the Gaither Vocal Band roster is comprised of five power-packed voices, including Bill Gaither, Wes Hampton, Adam Crabb, Todd Suttles and Reggie Smith.

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