The New Christian Hymnal ‎#341

341. Ten Thousand Times Ten Thousand

1. Ten thousand times ten thousand
In sparkling raiment bright,
The armies of the ransomed saints
Throng up the steeps of light:
'Tis finished, all is finished,
Their fight with death and sin:
Fling open wide the golden gates,
And let the victors in.

Refrain:
Hallelujah! Hallelujah
To the Lamb who once was slain!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah
To Him who lives again!

2. What rush of alleluias
Fills all the earth and sky!
What ringing of a thousand harps
Be-speaks the triumph night!
O day, for which creation
And all its tribes were made;
O joy, for all its former woes
A thousand-fold repaid! [Refrain]

3. Bring near Thy great salvation,
Thou Lamb for sinners slain;
Fill up the roll of Thine elect,
Then take Thy pow'r and reign:
Appear, Desire of nations,
Thine exiles long for home;
Show in the heav'ns Thy promised sign;
Thou Prince and Savior, come. [Refrain]
