Hark! ten thousand voices crying

Hark! ten thousand voices crying

“Lamb of God!” with one accord;

Thousand thousand saints replying

Wake at once the echo’ng chord.

“Praise the Lamb!” the chorus waking

All in heav’n together throng;

Loud and far each tongue partaking

Rolls around the endless song.

Grateful incense this

ascending

Ever to the Father’s throne;

Every knee to Jesus bending

All the mind in heav’n is one.

All the Father’s counsels claiming

Equal honors to the Son

All the Son’s effulgence beaming

Makes the Father’s glory known.

By the Spirit all pervading

Hosts unnumbered round the Lamb

Crowned with light and joy unfading

Hail Him as the great “I AM.”

Joyful now the new creation

Rests in undisturbed repose

Blest in Jesus’ full salvation

Sorrow now nor thraldom knows.

Hark! the heavenly notes again!

Loudly swells the song of praise;

Through creation’s vault

Amen!

Amen! responsive joy doth raise.
