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 while angels stand;
Jesus rules at God's right hand.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Alleluia! Amen.
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, 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!"
