Ten Thousand Times Ten Thousand

Ten thousand times ten thousandIn sparkling raiment brightThe armies of the ransomed saintsThrong up the steep of light'Tis finished all is finishedTheir fight with death and sinFling open wide the golden gatesAnd let the victors inWhat rush of alleluiaFills all the earth and skyWhat ringing of a thousand harpsBespeaks the triumph nighO day for which creationAnd all its tribes were madeO joy for all it's former woesA thousand fold repaidO then what raptured greetingsOn Canaan's happy shoreWhat knitting severed friendships upWhere partings are no moreThen eyes with joy shall sparkleThat brimmed with tears of lateOrphans no longer fatherlessNor widows desolateBring near Thy great salvationThou Lamb for sinners slainFill up the roll of Thine electThen take Thy power and reignAppear Desire of nationsThine exiles long for homeShow in the heavens Thy promised signThou Prince and Savior comeHenry Alford, John Bacchus Dykes: Words: Public Domain; CCLI #4580240
