The Silver Chime ‎#21

21. Sing His Praise

1 Would you be as angels are?
Sing, sing his praise.
Would you banish every care?
Sing, sing his praise.
Like the lark upon the wing,
Like the warbling bird of spring,
Like the crystal spheres that ring,
Sing, sing his praise.

2 In the church and in the street,
Sing, sing his praise.
If a Christian you do meet,
Sing, sing his praise.
In the house and by the way,
At your work and at your play.
Like the elements always,
Sing, sing his praise.

3 If the world upon you frown,
Sing, sing his praise.
If you're left to sing alone,
Sing, sing his praise.
If sad trials come to you,
As to ev'ry one they do,
For that they are blessings too,
Sing, sing his praise.

4 For his wondrous dying love,
Sing, sing his praise.
That he intercedes above,
Sing, sing his praise.
Thus whene'er you come to die,
You shall soar beyond the sky,
And with angel choirs on high
Sing, sing his praise.
