New Harmonia Sacra (Legacy ed.) ‎#445

445. Thro' the gates of light ajar

Thro' the gates of light ajar,
From great Jehovah's throne,
Ringing o'er the earth afar,
A sweet seraphic tone:
Ten thousand thousand voices clear
Thro' heaven's pearly portals roll,
Oh, swell the anthem far and near,
The triumphs of a sinless soul:
Salvation to our god,
And glory to the Lamb;
For worthy is His name
Of honor and of praise.
For worthy is His holy name
Of honor and of endless praise.
Then join, Ye ransomed throng,
The heav'n born happy song;
Let earth a tribute bring,
God's endless praises sing.

He walks upon the stormy waters,
At His rebuke they flee,
A robe of light HE wears,
That dims the shining stars,
Whose chariot is a flying cloud,
His angels spirits are,
His ministers a fire,
His ministers a fire.
Blessing, honor, glory, praise,
Saints upon the earth
join saints around the throne,
Blessing, honor, glory, praise,
Saints upon the earth join saints around the throne.
Hallelujah, forever, evermore,
Hallelujah, forevermore.
