Hymn 197: Golden harps are sounding.

Verse 1

Golden harps are sounding 

Angel voices ring,

Pearly gates are open’d

Opened for the King;

Jesus, King of glory,

Jesus, King of love,

Is gone up triumph

To His throne above.

 

 

All His work is ended,

Joyfully we sing,

Jesus hath ascended;

Glory to our King

 

Verse 2

He who came to save us,

He who bled and died

Now is crowned with glory

At His Father’s side.

Nevermore to die;

Jesus, King of glory,

Is gone up on high.

 

Verse 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.
