Have faith in God –
For what your heart has prayed;
Have faith in God –
By nothing be dismayed;
Have faith in God –
Look up, be not afraid.
Have faith, dear friend, in God.

Golden Harps are Sounding

Words and Music by Frances Ridley Havergal, 1836-1879

    But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth." Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. Acts 1:8, 9.

Golden harps are sounding, angels voices sing,
Pearly gates are opened, opened for the King;
Jesus, 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.
From the grave arisen, nevermore to die;
Jesus, King of glory, is gone up on high.

Pleading for His children in that blessèd place,
Calling them to glory, sending them His grace;
His bright home preparing, faithful ones, for you;
Jesus ever liveth, ever loveth, too.

Chorus:
All His suffering ended, joyfully we sing,
Jesus hath ascended! Glory to our King!
