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 heaven thy promised sign; Thou Prince and Savior, come.
