- 1Hark! the sound of holy voices,
- Chanting at the crystal sea,
- Halleluia, halleluia,
- Halleluia, Lord, to Thee!
- Multitudes which none can number
- Like the stars in glory stand,
- Clothed in white apparel, holding
- Palms of vict'ry in their hand.
- 2They 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.
- 3Now they reign in heav'nly glory,
- Now they walk in golden light,
- Now they drink, as from a river,
- Holy bliss and infinite:
- Love and peace they taste forever,
- Heav'nly truth and knowledge see
- In the beatific vision
- Of the blessed Trinity.
