235. Songs of Praise the Angels Sang

1. Songs of praise the angels sang,
Heav'n with alleluias rang,
When creation was begun,
When God spoke 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. 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.

4. And shall Christians fail to sing
Till on earth Christ comes as King?
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.
