American Lutheran Hymnal ‎#457

457. 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.
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 gladness
At his Father’s side.
Nevermore to suffer,
Nevermore to die,
Jesus, King of glory,
Is gone up on high.
All His work is ended,
Joyfully we sing;
Jesus hath ascended!
Glory to our King!

3 Praying for His children
In that blessed place,
Calling them to glory,
Sending them His grace;
His bright home preparing,
Little ones, for you;
Jesus ever liveth,
Ever loveth, too.
All His work is ended,
Joyfully we sing;
Jesus hath ascended!
Glory to our King!

Amen.
