Songs of Praise the Angels Sang

Songs of praise the an­gels sang

Heav’n with hal­le­lu­jahs rang

When Je­ho­vah’s work be­gun

When He spoke

and it was done.

Songs of praise awoke the morn

When the Prince of Peace was born;

Songs of praise arose when He

Captive led cap­tiv­ity.

Heav’n and earth must pass away;

Songs of praise shall crown that day;

God will make new heav’ns and earth;

Songs of praise shall hail their birth.

And will man alone be dumb

Till that glo­ri­ous king­dom come?

No: the church de­lights to raise

Psalms

and hymns

and songs of praise.

Saints be­low

with heart and voice

Still in songs of praise re­joice

Learning here

by faith and love

Songs of praise to sing ab­ove.

Borne up­on their lat­est breath

Songs of praise shall con­quer death;

Then amidst eter­nal joy

Songs of praise their pow­ers em­ploy.

Hymns of glo­ry

songs of praise

Father

un­to Thee we raise;

Jesus

glo­ry un­to Thee

With the Spir­it

ev­er be.
