Golden Harps Are Sounding

by FRANCIS RIDLEY HAVERGAL, 1836-79

Golden Harps Are Sounding
"God exalted him to his own right hand as price and saviour" Acts 5:31
Golden harps are sounding,
Angel voices ring,
Pearly gates are opened
Opened for the king;
Christ, the king of Glory,
Jesus, king of love,
Is gone up in triumph
To His throne above
All His work is ended, joyfully we sing;
Jesus hath ascended-Glory to our king.
He who came to save us,
He who bled and died
Now is crowned with glory
At His father's side
Never more to suffer,
Never more to die
Jesus king of Glory,
Is gone up on high.
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
