Author: Thomas Kelly
Published in 21 hymnals

Representative Text

1 Sing, sing his lofty praise,
Whom angels can not raise,
But whom they sing;
Jesus who reigns above,
Object of angels' love,
Jesus, whose grace we prove,
Jesus, our King.

2 Rich is the grace we sing,
Poor is the praise we bring,
Not as we ought;
But when we see his face,
In yonder glorious place,
Then shall we sing his grace,
Sing without fault.
