Hymns - I Hear Ten Thousand Voices Singing - Текст песни

I hear ten thousand voices singing,
Their praises to the Lord on high;
Far distant shores and hills are ringing
With anthems of their nations??? joy.
???Praise ye the Lord! for He has given
To lands in darkness hid His light;
As morning rays light up the heaven,
His Word has chased away our night.???

On China???s shores I hear His praises,
From lips that once kissed idol stones;
Soon as His banner He upraises,
The Spirit moves the breathless bones???
???Speed, speed! Thy Word o???er land and ocean;
The Lord in triumph has gone forth;
The nations hear with strange emotion,
From East to West, from South to North.???

The song has sounded o???er the waters,
And India???s plains re-echo joy;
Beneath the moon sit India???s daughters,
Soft singing, as the wheel they ply???
???Thanks to Thee, Lord! for hope of glory,
For peace on earth to us revealed;
Our cherished idols fell before Thee,
Thy Spirit has our pardon sealed.???
