See, He sits on yonder throne; Jesus rules the world alone. 2 Come, ye saints, unite your praises With the angels round His throne; Soon, we hope, our God will raise us To the place where He is gone. Meet it is that we should sing, "Glory, glory, to our King!" 3 Sing how Jesus came from heaven, How He bore the cross below, How all pow'r to Him is given, How He reigns in glory now; ’Tis a great and endless theme, Oh, ’tis sweet to sing of Him! 4 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. 5 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. 6 Savior, hasten Thine appearing; Bring, oh, bring the glorious day When, the awe-full summons hearing, Heaven and earth shall pass away; Then with golden harps we'll sing, "Glory, glory, to our King!" Amen. Topics: The Church Year Ascension Used With Tune: NEANDER
