(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith)
1
Golden harps are sounding, Angel voices ring,
Pearly gates are opened, Opened for the King:
Christ, the King of glory, Jesus, King of love,
Is gone up in triumph To His throne above.
REFRAIN
All His work is ended, Joyfully we sing;
Jesus hath ascended — Glory to our King!
2
He who came to save us, He who bled and died,
Now is crowned with glory At His Father’s side:
Nevermore to suffer, Nevermore to die,
Jesus, King of glory, Is gone up on high.
REFRAIN
3
Praying for His children In that blessed place,
Calling them to glory, Sending them His grace:
His bright home preparing, Faithful ones, for your;
Jesus ever liveth, Ever loveth too.
