8.7.8.7. sung to Stuttgart 1 HARK! ten thousand voices crying "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 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 Equal honours 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 resounding, Higher swells the song of praise; Through creation's vault responding Loud Amens which joy doth raise. | Alternative tunes (8.7.8.7.)
