Hark! Ten Thousand Harps and Voices
Hark! ten thousand harps and voicesSound the note of praise above;Jesus reigns, and Heaven rejoices,—Jesus reigns, the God of Love.See, He sits on yonder throne:Jesus rules the world alone.
Christians, come, unite your praisesWith the angels round His throne;Soon, we hope, our God will raise usTo the place where He is gone.Meet it is that we should sing,“Glory, glory, to our King!”
Sing how Jesus came from heaven,How He bore the cross below,How all power to Him is given,How He reigns in glory now;’Tis a great and endless theme,Oh, ’tis sweet to sing of Him!
Jesus, hail! whose glory brightensAll above and makes it fair.Lord of Life, Thy smile enlightens,Cheers, and charms Thy people here.When we think of love like Thine,Lord, we own it love divine.
King of Glory, reign forever;Thine an everlasting crown.Nothing from Thy love shall severThose whom Thou hast made Thine own,Happy objects of Thy grace,Destined to behold Thy face.
Savior, hasten Thine appearing;Bring, O bring the glorious dayWhen, the awful summons hearing,Heaven and earth shall pass away;Then with golden harps we’ll sing,“Glory, glory, to our King!”
