Hark! the sound of holy voices

Hymnal: Hymnal #189 (1871) Topics: The Communion of Saints Lyrics: 1 Hark! the sound of holy voices, Chanting o'er the crystal sea, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Lord, to Thee; Multitude, which none can number, Like the stars in glory stands, Clothed in white apparel, holding Palms of victory in their hands. 2 Patriarch, and holy Prophet. Who prepared the way for Christ, King, Apostle, Saint, Confessor, Martyr and Evangelist; Saintly Maiden, Golden Matron, Widows who have watched to prayer, Joined in holy concert, singing, To the Lord of all, are there. 3 They have come from tribulation, And have wash'd their robes in blood, Wash'd them in the blood of Jesus; Tried they were, and firm they stood; Mock'd, imprison'd, stoned, tormented, Sawn asunder, slain with sword, They have conquer'd death and Satan By the might of Christ the Lord. 4 Marching with Thy cross their banner, They have triumph'd, following Thee, the Captain of salvation, Thee, their Saviour and their King; Gladly, Lord, with Thee they suffer'd; Gladly, Lord, with Thee they died; And by death to life immortal They were born and glorified. 5 Now they reign in heavenly glory, Now they walk in golden light, Now they drink, as from a river, Holy bliss and infinite: Love and peace they taste for ever, And all truth and knowledge see In the beatific vision Of the blessèd Trinity.
