Hark! the Sound of Holy Voices

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Hymnal: The New Christian Hymnal #343 (1929) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1. Hark! the sound of holy voices, Chanting at the crystal sea, Halleluia, halleluia, Halleluia, Lord, to Thee! Multitudes which none can number Like the stars in glory stand, Clothed in white apparel, holding Palms of vict'ry in their hand. 2. They have come from tribulation, And have washed their robes in blood, Washed them in the blood of Jesus; Tried they were, and firm they stood; Mocked, imprisoned, stoned, tormented, Sawn asunder, slain with sword, They have conquered death and Satan By the might of Christ the Lord. 3. Now they reign in heav'nly glory, Now they walk in golden light, Now they drink, as from a river, Holy bliss and infinite: Love and peace they taste forever, Heav'nly truth and knowledge see In the beatific vision Of the blessed Trinity.
