Hymn 247: There’s a Sound Upon the Waters,

Verse 1

There’s a Sound Upon the Waters,

There’s a murmur in the air,

For a wave of coming glory moves 

my soul;

There’s the sign of a revival 

All ye saints, prepare for war;

For the hosts of God are marching 

to the goal.

 

 

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! to the 

Lord;

We shall triumph, we shall triumph

Thro’ the everlasting Word;

There’s a sound upon waters,

There’s a murmur in the air,

For a sound of coming glory moves my soul.

 

Verse 2

Sing, the Lord has come to battle,

He’s a mighty Man of war,

He is girding on the sword to smite

the foe;

He will lead His people onward

In the fulness of His power

Hark! the hosts of God are singing 

as they go.

 

Verse 3

We are coming, we are coming 

To the help of Judah’s King.

Ev’ry heart and hand is ready for

the fray;

Lift the Banner of Salvation,

Jesus leads us march away!

Glory, glory, we shall win the well-

fought day!
