Angel-voices ever singing

Can we know that thou art near us, and wilt hear us? Yea, we can. 3 Yea, we know that thou rejoicest o'er each work of thine; thou didst ears and hands and voices for thy praise design; craftsman's art and music's measure for thy pleasure all combine. 4 In thy house, great God, we offer of thine own to thee; and for thine acceptance proffer all unworthily hearts and minds and hands and voices in our choicest psalmody. 5 Honour, glory, might, and merit thine shall ever be, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, blessèd Trinity. Of the best that thou hast given earth and heaven render thee. Topics: Proper 15 Year B; Dedication Festival; St. Michael and All Angels Used With Tune: ANGEL VOICES
