47. Hark the sweetest notes of angels singing

1 Hark the sweetest notes of angels singing,
Glory, glory to the Lamb,
All the hosts of heaven their tribute bringing,
Raising high the Saviour's name.

Refrain:
We will join the beautiful angels,
We will join the beautiful angels,
Singing away, Singing away,
Glory, glory to the Lamb.

or this:
Sing away, ye beautiful angels,
Sing away, ye beautiful angels,
Sing away, sing away,
Glory, glory to the Lamb.

2 Ye for whom his precious life was given,
Sacred themes to you belong;
Come, and join the glorious choir of heaven,
Join the everlasting song. [Refrain]

2 Hearts all filled with holy emulation,
We unite with those above;
Sweet the theme--the theme of free salvation,
Founts of everlasting love. [Refrain]

3 Endless life in Christ our Lord possessing,
Let us praise his precious name:
Glory, honor, riches, power, and blessing
Be forever to the Lamb. [Refrain]
