SONGS OF PRAISE THE ANGELS SANG

[1]
Songs of praise the angels sang;
heaven with hallelujahs rang,
when creation was begun,
when God spake, and it was done.

[2]
Songs of praise awoke the morn
when the Prince of Peace was born;
songs of praise arose when he
captive led captivity.

[3]
Heaven and earth must pass away,
songs of praise shall crown that day;
God will make new heavens, new earth,
songs of praise shall hail their birth.

[4]
And shall man alone be dumb
till that glorious kingdom come?
No, the church delights to raise
psalms and hymns and songs of praise.

[5]
Saints below, with heart and voice,
still in songs of praise rejoice;
learning here, by faith and love,
songs of praise to sing above.
