I Hear Ten Thousand Voices Singing,
Their Praises To The Lord On High;
Far Distant Shores And Hills Are Ringing
With Anthems Of Their Nations’ Joy.
“Praise Ye The Lord! For He Has Given
To Lands In Darkness Hid His Light;
As Morning Rays Light Up The Heaven,
His Word Has Chased Away Our Night.”
On China’s Shores I Hear His Praises,
From Lips That Once Kissed Idol Stones;
Soon As His Banner He Upraises,
The Spirit Moves The Breathless Bones
“Speed, Speed! Thy Word Over Land And Ocean;
The Lord In Triumph Has Gone Forth;
The Nations Hear With Strange Emotion,
From East To West, From South To North.”
The Song Has Sounded O’er The Waters,
And India’s Plains Re-Echo Joy;
Beneath The Moon Sit India’s Daughters,
Soft Singing, As The Wheel They Ply
“Thanks To Thee, Lord! For Hope Of Glory,
For Peace On Earth To Us Revealed;
Our Cherished Idols Fell Before Thee,
Thy Spirit Has Our Pardon Sealed.”
On Afric’s Sunny Shore, Glad Voices
Wake Up The Morn Of Jubilee;
The Negro, Once A Slave, Rejoices,
Who’s Freed By Christ Is Doubly Free:
“Sing, Brothers, Sing! Yet Many A Nation
Shall Hear The Voice Of God And Live;
E’en We Are Heralds Of Salvation,
The Word He Gave We’ll Freely Give.”
Fair Are New Zealand’s Wooded Mountains,
Deep Glens, Blue Lakes And Dizzy Steeps;
But Sweeter Than The Murmuring Fountains
Rises The Song From Holy Lips:
“By Blood Did Jesus Come To Save Us,
So Deeply Stained With Brothers’ Blood;
Our Hearts We’ll Give To Him Who Gave Us
Deliverance From The Fiery Flood.”
Over Prairies Wild The Song Is Spreading
Where Once The War-Cry Sounded Loud;
But Now The Evening Sun Is Shedding
His Rays Upon A Praying Crowd:
“Lord Of All Worlds, Eternal Spirit!
Thy Light Upon Our Darkness Shed;
For Thy Dear Love, For Jesus’ Merit,
From Joyful Hearts Be Worship Paid.”
Hark! Hark! A Louder Sound Is Booming
Over Heaven And Earth, Over Land And Sea;
The Angel’s Trump Proclaims His Coming
Our Day Of Endless Jubilee:
“Hail To Thee, Lord! Thy People Praise Thee;
In Every Land Thy Name We Sing;
On Heaven’s Eternal Throne Upraise Thee;
Take Thou Thy Power, Thou Glorious King.”
