Ten Thousand Times Ten Thousand

Author: Henry Alford Meter: 7.6.8.6 D Appears in 432 hymnals 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 O 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 heav'n thy promised sign; thou Prince and Savior, come!

O day of rest and gladness

Author: Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-85 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 811 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O day of rest and gladness, O day of joy and light, O balm of care and sadness, Most beautiful, most bright! On thee the high and lowly, Before the eternal throne, Sing, 'Holy, holy, holy,' To the great Three in One. 2 On thee, at the creation, The light first had its birth; On thee, for our salvation, Christ rose from depths of earth; On thee our Lord victorious The Spirit sent from heaven; And thus on thee most glorious A triple light was given. A-men. 3 Today on weary nations The heavenly manna falls; To holy convocations The silver trumpet calls, Where Gospel light is glowing With pure and radiant beams, And living water flowing With soul-refreshing streams. 5 New graces ever gaining From this our day of rest, We reach the rest remaining To spirits of the blest. To Holy Ghost be praises, To Father, and to Son; The Church her voice upraises To thee, blest Three in One. Amen.
