Hymns for Second Advent Believers 45
Christ's Triumph
1HARK, 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.
2Jesus, 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.
Hallelujah, &c.
3King of glory, reign for ever,
Thine an everlasting crown:
Nothing from thy love shall sever
Those whom thou shalt call thine own;
Happy objects of thy grace,
Destined to behold thy face.
Hallelujah, &c.
4Saviour, 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."
Hallelujah, &c.
