Hark! Ten Thousand Harps and Voices

Author: Thomas Kelly (1769-1854) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.6 Appears in 675 hymnals 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. Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Amen. 2 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. Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Amen. 3 Savior, 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!” Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Amen. Topics: Jesus Christ Kingdom and Reign Used With Tune: HARWELL
