#144: Hark! Ten Thousand Harps and Voices

(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith)

1

Hark! ten thousand harps and voices Sound the note of praise above;

Jesus reigns, and heav’n rejoices — Jesus reigns, the God of love:

See, He sits on yonder throne — Jesus rules the world alone.

REFRAIN

Alleluia! alleluia! Alleluia! Amen

2

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.

REFRAIN

3

King of glory, reign forever — Thin 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.

REFRAIN

4

Savior, hasten Thine appearing — Bring, O bring the glorious day,

When, the awful summons hearing, Heav’n and earth shall pass away:

Then with golden harps we’ll sing, “Glory, glory to our King!”
