1 It thrills my soul to hear the songs of praise,
We mortals sing below,
And tho it takes the parting of the ways,
yet I must onward go;
I hope to hear thru-out unnumbered days,
The song earth cannot know,
They sing in heav'n a new song,
Of Moses and the Lamb.
Refrain:
I want to hear angels sweetly sing, and to welcome to those mansions fair;
O to hear glad harps sweetly ring, blending, O, so rich and so rare;
I want to hear that mighty chorus sweetly sing,
I want to hear that mighty chorus sweetly sing,
I want to hear that mighty chorus sweetly sing,
To hear it swell and ring!
2 The greatest joy that I have ever known,
Is praising Him in song,
I know some day when I have older grown,
My voice will not be strong;
but if good seed for Jesus I have sown,
With angels I'll belong,
They sing in heav'n a new song,
Of Moses and the Lamb. [Refrain]
3 The sweetest song that earth can ever boast,
Was sung when Christ was born,
Yet He who walked the Galileean coast,
Sometimes was sad forlorn;
He left the earth to send the Holy Ghost,
To guide us till that morn,
They sing in heav'n a new song,
Of Moses and the Lamb. [Refrain]
