Hark! ten thousand voices crying,
|
|---|
|
| 1. | Hark! ten thousand voices crying, |
| | "Lamb of God!" with one accord; |
| | Thousand thousand saints replying, |
| | Wake at once the echo'ng chord. |
| 2. | "Praise the Lamb!" the chorus waking, |
| | All in heav'n together throng; |
| | Loud and far each tongue partaking |
| | Rolls around the endless song. |
| 3. | Grateful incense this, ascending |
| | Ever to the Father's throne; |
| | Every knee to Jesus bending, |
| | All the mind in heav'n is one. |
| 4. | All the Father's counsels claiming |
| | Equal honors to the Son, |
| | All the Son's effulgence beaming, |
| | Makes the Father's glory known. |
| 5. | By the Spirit all pervading, |
| | Hosts unnumbered round the Lamb, |
| | Crowned with light and joy unfading, |
| | Hail Him as the great "I AM." |
| 6. | Joyful now the new creation |
| | Rests in undisturbed repose, |
| | Blest in Jesus' full salvation, |
| | Sorrow now nor thraldom knows. |
| 7. | Hark! the heavenly notes again! |
| | Loudly swells the song of praise; |
| | Through creation's vault, Amen! |
| | Amen! responsive joy doth raise. |
