Hark, Ten Thousand Harps and Voices
For SATB Choir and Organ. This original tune to a well-known text is perfect for any number of occasions: Ascension, Christ the King, Trinity, All Saints, or whenever the Kingship of Christ is the theme. Text by Thomas Kelly.
Hark, ten thousand harps and voices
Sound the note of praise above!
Jesus reigns, and Heav’n rejoices,
Jesus reigns, the God of love;
See, He sits on yonder throne;
Jesus rules the world alone.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! Amen!
Jesus, hail! Whose glory brightens
All above, and gives it worth;
Lord of life, Thy smile enlightens,
Cheers, and charms Thy saints on earth;
When we think of love like Thine,
Lord, we own it love divine.
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,
Destined to behold Thy face.
Savior, hasten Thine appearing;
Bring, O bring the glorious day,
When, the awful summons bearing
Heaven and earth shall pass away;
Then with all the saints we’ll sing,
Glory, glory to our king!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! Amen!
