Hark! eternal praise ascending,
Round the throne the concert stands;
Each in robes of white attending,
Palms of triumph in their hands:
Multitudes of every nation,
Join to praise the Saviour’s name;
Hark! they shout aloud, “Salvation
To our God and to the Lamb.”
Hosts of angels join their voices,
Seraphs bow before the throne;
All the choir of heaven rejoices,
As their Lord and ours they own:
“Honour, praise, and adoration
To our God for ever be,
Glory from the whole creation
Wisdom, power, and majesty!”
Let us also join the chorus
Of the saints enthroned on high;
Here they trusted him before us,
Now their anthems fill the sky:
We will praise thee, gracious Saviour
For we love thy sacred name:
Pardon every weak endeavour;
Pity, for thou know’st our frame.
