The Hymnal ‎#456

456. 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.

Refrain:
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. [Refrain]

3 Praying 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. [Refrain]

Amen.
