 1 

Hark! Ten thousand heav'nly 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.

 
 2 

Sing how Jesus came from heaven,

How He bore the cross below,

How all power to Him is given,

How He reigns in glory now.

'Tis a great and endless theme —

Oh, 'tis sweet to sing of Him.

 

Hallelujah, Hallelujah,

Hallelujah, Amen.

 
 3 

Jesus, hail! Thy 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, Hallelujah,

Hallelujah, Amen.

 
 4 

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.

 

Hallelujah, Hallelujah,

Hallelujah, Amen.

 
 5 

Savior, hasten Thine appearing:

Bring, oh, bring the glorious day,

When, the awful summons hearing,

Heav'n and earth shall pass away.

Then with raptured hearts we'll sing,

"Glory, glory to our King!"

 

Hallelujah, Hallelujah,

Hallelujah, Amen.
