Ten thousand times ten thousand

Author: H. Alford Meter: 7.6.8.6 D Appears in 442 hymnals Topics: Processionals General; Processionals Saints' Days 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 alleluias Fills all the earth and sky! What ringing of a thousand harps Bespeaks the triumph nigh! O day, for which creation And all its tribes were made! O joy, for all its former woes A thousand-fold repaid! 3 OH, then what raptured greetings On Canaan's happy shore! What knitting severed friendships up, Where 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 power and reign! Appear, Desire of nations! Thine exiles long for home: Show in the heavens Thy promised sign! Thou Prince and Saviour, come! Amen. Used With Tune: ALFORD

And let your lights appear; The evening is advancing, And darker night is near. The Bridegroom is arising, And soon He will draw nigh; Up! pray and watch and wrestle! At midnight comes the cry. 2 See that your lights are burning; Replenish them with oil; Look now for your salvation, The end of sin and toil. The watchers on the mountain Proclaim the Bridegroom near, Go meet Him as He cometh, With Alleluias clear. 3 O wise and holy virgins, Now raise your voices higher, Until in songs of triumph Ye meet the angel choir. The marriage-feast is waiting, The gates wide open stand; Up, up, ye heirs of glory! The Bridegroom is at hand. 4 Our hope and expectation, O Jesus, now appear; Arise, Thou Sun so longed for, O'er this benighted sphere! With hearts and hands uplifted, We plead, O Lord, to see The days of earth's redemption, And ever be with Thee! Amem. Used With Tune: LANCASHIRE

See the Conqueror mounts in triumph

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 206 hymnals Topics: Processional Lyrics: See the Conqueror mounts in triumph; See the King in royal state, Riding on the clouds, his chariot, To his heavenly palace gate! Hark! the choirs of angel voices Joyful alleluias sing, And the portals high are lifted To receive their heavenly King. Who is this that comes in glory, With the trump of jubilee? Lord of battles, God of armies, He hath gained the victory! 478 He who on the cross did suffer, He who from the grave arose, He has vanquished sin and Satan; He by death has spoiled his foes. While he raised his hands in blessing, He was parted from his friends While their eager eyes behold him, He upon the clouds ascends; He who walked with God and pleased him, Preaching truth and doom to come, He, our Enoch, is translated To his everlasting home. Now our heavenly Aaron enters, With his blood, within the veil; Joshua now is come to Canaan, And the kings before him quail; Now he plants the tribes of Israel In their promised resting-place; Now our great Elijah offers Double portion of his grace. Thou hast raised our human nature On the clouds to God's right hand: There we sit in heavenly places, There with thee in glory stand. Jesus reigns, adored by angels; Man with God is on the throne; Mighty Lord, in thine Ascension, We by faith behold our own. Amen. Used With Tune: REX GLORIAE

I heard a sound of voices

Godfrey Thring Meter: 7.6.8.6 D Appears in 65 hymnals Topics: Processionals Lyrics: 1 I heard a sound of voices Around the great white throne, With harpers harping on their harps To Him that sat thereon: "Salvation, glory, honor," I heard the song arise, As through the courts of heaven it rolled In wondrous harmonies. 2 From every clime and kindred, And nations from afar, As serried ranks returning home In triumph from a war, I heard the saints upraising, The myriad hosts among, In praise of Him who died, and lives, Their one glad triumph song. 3 O Lamb of God Who reignest, Thou Bright and Morning Star, Whose glory lightens that new earth Which now we see from far; O worthy Judge Eternal, When Thou dost bid us come, Then open wide the gates of pearl, And call Thy servants home. Amen. Used With Tune: PATMOS

The King that sitteth on thy throne In his felicity? 5 Thy gardens and thy goodly walks Continually are green, Where grow such sweet and pleasant flowers As nowhere else are seen. 6 Right through thy streets, with silver sound, The living waters flow, And on the banks, on either side The trees of life doth grow. 7 Those trees for evermore bear fruit, And evermore do spring: There evermore the angels sit And evermore do sing. 8 Jerusalem, my happy home, Would God I were in Thee! Would God my woes were at an end, Thy joys that I might see! Amen. Used With Tune: [O mother dear, Jerusalem]
