LyicsHark! ten thousand harps and voices
Sound 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.
Jesus, hail! whose glory brightens
All above, and gives it worth;
Lord of life, thy smile enlightens,
Cheers, and charms thy saints on earth;
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 sever
Those whom thou hast made thine own:
Happy objects of thy grace,
Destined to behold thy face.
Savior, hasten thine appearing;
Bring, oh bring the glorious day,
When, the awful summons hearing,
Heaven and earth shall pass away;
Then, with golden harps, we'll sing,
"Glory, glory to our King!"
