Ten Thousand Times

Author: Rev. H. Alford Appears in 440 hymnals Topics: The Home Eternal Meeting in Heaven First Line: Ten thousand times ten thousand Lyrics: 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 hallelujahs Fills all the earth and sky! The ringing of a thousand harps Proclaims the triumph high. 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 where Death 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 pow'r and reign; Appear, Desire of nations, Thine exiles long for home; Show in the heav'ns Thy promised sign; Thou Prince and Saviour, come!

Long upon the mountains, weary

Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: The Home Eternal Nearing Home Lyrics: 1 Long upon the mountains, weary. Have the scattered flock been torn; Dark the desert paths, and dreary; Grievous trials have they borne. Now the gath'ring call is sounding, Solemn in its warning voice; Union, faith, and love, abounding, Bid the little flock rejoice. 2 Now the light of truth they're seeking. In its onward track pursue; All the ten commandments keeping, They are holy, just, and true. On the words of life they're feeding, Precious to their taste, so sweet; All their Master's precepts heeding, Bowing humbly at his feet. 3 Soon He comes, with clouds descending; All his saints, entombed, arise; The redeemed, in anthems blending, Shout their vict'ry thro' the skies. O, we long for thine appearing! Come, O Saviour, quickly come! Blessed hope! our spirits cheering, Take thy ransomed children home.
