Their hallelujahs loud proclaim, While with ecstatic joy they shout New honors to his sacred name. 5 From every kindred, every tongue, From barbarous nations long unknown, From polish'd Greeks and Scythians rude, A countless host surround the throne. 6 In robes of spotless white array'd, And palms of victory in their hand, With holy wonder and delight, The trophies of his grace they stand. 7 And still till time shall be mo more, The mighty concourse shall increase; And Jesus gain, in heathen lands, New subjects of the reign of peace.
