HYMN 767

C.M.S 558 Alford D. 7.6.8. 6 (FE 80)
"Thou hast redeemed usto God by Thy
blood out of every kindred” - Rev. 5:19



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.


2.  What rush of hallelujah 

     Fills all the earth and sky

     What ringing of a thousand harps 

     Be speaks the triumph nigh!

     O day for which creation

     And all its tribes were made!

     O joy, for all its former woes 

      A thousand-fold repaid!.


3.  O then what raptured greetings

     On Canaan’s happy shore

     What knitting severed friendship up 

     Where partings are no more!

     Then eyes with joy shall sparkle 

     That brimmed with tears of late 

     Orphans no longer fatherless 

     Nor widows desolate.


4.  Bring near Thy great salvation 

     Thou Lamb for sinners slain 

     Fill up the roll of Thine elect, 

     Then take Thy power and reigns 

     Appear, Desire of nations

     Thine exiles long for home

     Show in the heav‘ns Thy promised sign 

     Thou Prince and Saviour, come.  Amen
