HYMN 107
8.7.8.7 D
1. HARK, creation's Alleluia
Rising from a thousand shores
Vibrates sweet as angel voices
Loud as many waters, roars
Blessing, glory, power, salvation
To our God upon the throne
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
lnfinite supreme, alone.
2. On and on, from dawn to sunset
Bome on every changeful wind
From the myriad-minded people
Of the hoary climes of Ind,
From the ransom‘d sons of Afric
From Old Sinim's crowded lands
From the freeborn Wanderers roaming
Arab‘s unconquer‘d sands.
3. From the coasts of ice to regions
Where perpetual summer smiles
From the sunny-hearted children
Of the far Pacific isles
From the numbers without number
Of rejoicing Christendom
From the watchers for His advent
Who will soon to Zion come.
4. Gathering strength from every nation
Every kindred, tribe, and tongue
Hark, the everlasting anthem
Hark, that glorious tide of song
Floods the valley with its music
Echoes from the lasting hills
Onward, upward, till the temple
Of the living God it fills.
5. Hark, it mingles with the raptures
Of the armies of the sky
Who have pass’d through tribulation
Into perfect rest on high
Clothes in robes of spotless beauty
Palms of triumph in their hand
Harping on their harps Hosanna
As before His face they stand.
6. Glory unto Him who loved us
Him who wash'd us with His blood
Kings and priest henceforth for ever
To our Father and our God
Alleluia! saints and angels
Raise your loudest loftiest strains
Alleluia! hell is vanguished:
God the Lord Almighty reign. Amen
