Hymn Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk - Christian Hymn Lyrics.  

Ten thousand times ten thousand 
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. 
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 thousandfold repaid! 
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. 
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.
