Laudes Domini ‎#222

222. "Jesus reigns"

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 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.

3 Saviour! hasten thine appearing;
Bring, oh, bring the glorious day,
When, the awful summons bearing,
Heaven and earth shall pass away;--
Then, with golden harps, we'll sing,--
"Glory, glory to our King!"
