Words:Frances Havergal,1871 “An Ascension
Hymn for Children”
Music: Bruce Benedict, 2012
lyrics
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.
Refrain:
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.
Refrain:
Praying for his children in that blessed place,
Calling them to glory, sending them hisgrace;
His bright home preparing, faithful ones for you;
Jesus ever liveth, ever loveth too.
Refrain:
