Author: C. Wordsworth Hymnal: The Helper in Sacred Song #26 (1889) First Line: Hark, the sound of Holy voices Refrain First Line: See, they stand a happy band Lyrics: 1 Hark, the sound of holy voices
Chanting at the crystal sea,
Hallelujah! hallelujah!
Hallelujah! Lord, to Thee.
Refrain:
Se, they stand a happy band,
Victor palms in ev’ry hand,
Chanting at the crystal sea,
In their heav’nly melody,
Hallelujah! Lord to Thee.
2 Multitude which none can number,
Like the stars in glory stand
Clothed in white apparel holding
Victor palms in ev’ry hand. [Refrain]
3 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. [Refrain]
4 Now they reign in heavenly glory,
Now they walk in golden light,
Now they drink, as from a river,
Holy bliss and infinite. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Hark, the sound of Holy voices]
At the Crystal Sea
