216. There's a song the angels sing

1 There’s a song the an­gels sing,
And its notes with rap­ture ring.
Round the throne whose ra­di­ance fills the heav'ns above.
Shepherds heard a dist­ant strain,
Watching on Ju­de­a’s plain,
"Glory be to God, Glory be to God,
Glory be to God, to men be peace and love."
Thro' the earth and thro' the sky,
Let the anthem ever fly,
"Glory be to God again,
Peace on earth, good will to men."

2 ’Tis a song for child­ren too;
To the Sav­iour ’tis their due;
Let its grate­ful notes as­cend to him again;
Join with an­gels in their song,
And the heaven­ly strain pro­long,
"Glory be to God, Glory be to God,
Glory be to God, good will and peace to men.
"Thro' the earth and thro' the sky,
Let the anthem ever fly,
"Glory be to God again,
Peace on earth, good will to men."

3 Soon around that throne may we
With those happy angels be.
Striking harps to strains that nevermore shall cease:
Mingling love with loftiest praise,
Still the chorus there we'll raise.
"Glory be to God, to men good will and peace.
Thro' the earth and thro' the sky,
Let the anthem ever fly,
"Glory be to God again,
Peace on earth, good will to men."
