Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Celebrating Grace Hymnal #317 (2010) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Hymnal Title: Celebrating Grace Hymnal Lyrics: 1 Songs of praise the angels sang,
heaven with alleluias rang,
when creation was begun,
when God spoke 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.
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 And shall Christians fail to sing
till on earth Christ come as King?
No; the Church delights to raise
psalms and hymns and songs of praise.
5 Saints below, with heart and voice,
still in songs of praise rejoice,
learning here, by faith and love,
songs of praise to sing above.
