HEAVENLY choirs are sounding, Angel voices sing, Gates of pearl are opened, Gladly 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, Has gone up on high!
Praying for His loved ones In that blessèd place; Calling them to glory, Sending them His grace; Glories there preparing, Faithful ones, for you; Jesus ever liveth, Ever loveth too.
Frances Ridley Havergal, 1836-79
