100. Hark, Ten Thousand Harps and Voices

1 Hark, 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.

2 Jesus, hail! whose glory brightens
All above and makes it fair:
Lord of life, thy smile enlightens,
Cheers and charms Thy people here.
When we think of love like thine
Lord, we own it love divine.

3 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.

3 Saviour, 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."

Amen.
