The Golden Harp 274t

Tune: John Palmer Rees, 1869
Lyrics: Baltimore Collection, 1801
Meter: Long Meter Half (8,8)
Farewell, vain world, I'm going home,
To play on the golden harp.
My Savior smiles and bids me come,
To play on the golden harp.

Chorus:

To play on the golden harp,
To play on the golden harp;
I want to be where Jesus is,
To play on the golden harp.

Sweet angels beckon me away,
To play on the golden harp.
To sing God's praise in endless day,
To play on the golden harp.

(Chorus)
