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
echoing 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 Sons
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.
