88. Golden Harps are Sounding

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.

Chorus:
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.
Never more to suffer,
Never more to die;
Jesus, King of glory,
Is gone up on high. [Chorus]

3 Pleading for His children
In that blessed place,
Calling them to glory,
Sending them His grace,
His bright home preparing,
Faithful ones, for you,
Jesus ever liveth,
Ever loveth, too. [Chorus]
