150. Hark! the Sound of Happy Voices

1 Hark! the sound of happy voices,
Ringing clear from shore to shore;
Earth resounds with Hallelujah’s
Sin and death shall reign no more.

Refrain:
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Let the song be loud and free,
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Earth resound the jubilee!

2 Long ago our blessed Saviour
Left His father’s throne above;
Came to earth and brought redemption
Showing thee His wondrous love. [Refrain]

3 Let us give our earnest service
Loud proclaim the story ‘round;
Till the earth in mighty concord,
With hosannas loud resound! [Refrain]
