Golden harps are sounding,Angel voices ringing,
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.
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.
Refrain:
All His work is ended,
Joyfully we sing;
Jesus hath ascended:
Glory to our King!

Very beautiful picture, and a wonderful hymn. Today is the 131st anniversary of Frances Havergal's death. She certainly ranks as one of our greatest hymn writers. Thanks for your blog.
