<poem>
1. Hark! the sound of holy voices, chanting at the crystal sea,
  Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Lord, to Thee;
  Multitude, which none can number, like the stars in glory stand
  Clothed in white apparel, holding palms of victory in their hand.
2. Patriarch, and holy prophet, who prepared the way of Christ
  King, apostle, saint, confessor, martyr and evangelist;
  Saintly maiden, godly matron, widows who have watched to prayer
  Joined in holy concert, singing to the Lord of all, are there.
3. They have come from tribulation, and have washed their robes in blood,
  Washed them in the blood of Jesus; tried they were, and firm they stood;
  Mocked, imprisoned, stoned, tormented, sawn asunder, slain with sword;
  They have conquered death and Satan by the might of Christ the Lord.
4. Marching with Thy cross their banner, they have triumphed, following
  Thee, the Captain of salvation, Thee, their Saviour and their King;
  Gladly, Lord, with Thee they suffered; gladly, Lord, with Thee they died;
  And by death to life immortal they were born and glorified.
5. Now they reign in heav’nly glory, now they walk in golden light,
  Now they drink, as from a river, holy bliss and infinite:
  Love and peace they taste forever, and all truth and knowledge see
  In the beatific vision of the blessèd Trinity.
6. God of God, the One begotten, Light of light, Emmanuel,
  In Whose body joined together all the saints forever dwell;
  Pour upon us of Thy fullness that we may forevermore
  God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost adore.
