Author: Thomas Kelly Hymnal: Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church #133 (1917) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Lyrics: 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 for ever;
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.
4 Saviour, hasten Thine appearing;
Bring, O 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.
