Hark to the song from courts celestial ringing!
Voices seraphic songs immortal raise!
Come let us blend our sonance with their singing!
Let our enraptured souls dissolve in praise!
Let us draw near! Oh, let us kneel before Him!
Pour out our hearts in everlasting song!
Oh, let us worship Him! Let us adore Him!
Him let us crown amid the heavenly throng!
Glory and might and majesty and splendour
Be to the Lamb, who hath redemption won!
Lift up the voice! Oh, let us gladly render,
As to the Father, honour to the Son!
Hark, as the hierarchs attribute glory,
Glory to Him who bore the cross and shame!
Far thro’ the universe His wondrous story,
Voices innumerable glad proclaim.
Worship eternal out of hearts o’erflowing
Fall on the ear like ocean’s mighty sound;
Faces with happiness immortal glowing,
Speak of a blessedness that knows no bound.
Oh, He is worthy of our veneration!
Oh, let the Blesser of our souls be blest!
Oh, let us bring to Him a great oblation!
Oh, let us offer to the Lord our best!
Into the presence of the King eternal
Full of thanksgiving let us gladly come!
Shall they extol Him in the heights supernal,
And shall His ransomed on the earth be’ dumb?
Till we the courts of the Redeemer enter
How shall we curb the passion of our praise?
Oh, let us crowd around the sacred Centre!
Oh, let us revel in those holy lays!
Pass thro’ the veil, for He would have us near Him
Come let us bring our sacrifices sweet!
Oh, let us tell Him how our souls revere Him!
Oh, let us haste that we may kiss His feet!
Let us draw near! Oh, let us kneel before Him!
Pour out our hearts in everlasting song!
Oh, let us worship Him! Let us adore Him!
Him let us crown amid the heavenly throng!
