| 1 | Hark! ten thousand voices crying, | Revelation 5:11-14 |
| "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 | Psalm 141:2; Romans 14:11 |
| 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 | John 5:22-23; Colossians 2:9; Hebrews 1:3 |
| Equal honors to the Son, |
| All the Son's effulgence beaming, |
| Makes the Father's glory known. |
|
| 5 | By the Spirit all pervading, | Revelation 5:11-14 |
| Hosts unnumbered round the Lamb, |
| Crowned with light and joy unfading, |
| Hail Him as the great "I AM." |
|
| 6 | Joyful now the new creation | Revelation 21:4 |
| Rests in undisturbed repose, |
| Blest in Jesus' full salvation, |
| Sorrow now nor thraldom knows. |
|
| 7 | Hark! the heavenly notes again! | Revelation 5:14 |
| Loudly swells the song of praise; |
| Through creation's vault, Amen! |
| Amen! responsive joy doth raise. |
