Text:Anthems from the Throne
Author:D. S. Warner
Tune:[I seem to hear an Angel Choir]
Composer:B. E. Warren

1. Anthems from the Throne

1. I seem to hear an Angel Choir,
Down from their shining home,
And in my heart their notes inspire,
Sweet Anthems from the Throne.

CHORUS.
Hark! o'er the vale sweet melodies,
That echo in my soul,
Till our Redeemer's holy praise,
Like mighty thunders roll.

2. Upon the mount of Holiness,
We live in Heaven's view,
And o'er the shaded valley come
Their hymns forever new.

3. Above, below, one family,
A thousand chords of love,
Now thrill my soul with melodies,
They chant in praise above.

4. I catch the pure celestial strain,
That Heaven wafts to me;
And then my happy spirit sings,
O glory, I am free!

5. We echo back the sounds that float
Thro' Eden's balmy air;
And Heaven shouts to hear on earth,
The songs they're singing there.
