Author: Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-85 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #143 (1958) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: The Life In Christ Life Everlasting; The Life In Christ Commemoration Lyrics: 1 Hark! the sound of holy voices
Chanting at 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 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. A-men.
3 God of God, the One-begotten,
Light of Light, Emmanuel,
In whose body joined together
All the saints for ever dwell;
Pour upon us of thy fullness
That we may for evermore
God the Father, God the Son, and
God the Holy Ghost adore.
Amen.
