Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America ‎#432

432. Songs of praise the angels sang

1 Songs of praise the angels sang,
Heaven with hallelujahs rang,
When creation was begun,
When God spake and it was done.

2 Songs of praise awoke the morn
When the Prince of Peace was born;
Songs of praise arose when he
Captive led captivity. A-men.

3 Heaven and earth must pass away,
Songs of praise shall crown that day;
God will make new heavens and earth,
Songs of praise shall hail their birth.

4 Saints below with heart and voice
Still in songs of praise rejoice;
Learning here, by faith and love,
Songs of praise to sing above.

5 Hymns of glory, songs of praise,
Father, unto thee we raise,
Jesus, glory unto thee,
With the Spirit, ever be.

Amen.
