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.
