122a. Hark! ten thousand harps and voices

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.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah, Amen.

2 Jesus, hail! whose glory brightens
All above, and gives it worth;
Lord of love, thy smile enlightens,
Cheers and charms thy saints on earth:
When we think of love like thine,
Lord, we own it love divine.

3 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,
Chosen to behold thy face.

4 Saviour, hasten thine appearing,
Bring, oh, 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!
