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.
