Hark! ten thousand voices crying
50
8.7.8.7.
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 heaven 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 heaven 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 thralldom knows.
J.N. Darby
