Angel-voices ever singing

Author: Francis Pott (1832-1909) Meter: 8.5.8.5.8.4.3 Appears in 381 hymnals Topics: Self-offering Lyrics: 1 Angel-voices ever singing round thy throne of light, angel-harps for ever ringing, rest not day nor night; thousands only live to bless thee and confess thee Lord of might. 2 Thou who art beyond the farthest mortal eye can scan, can it be that thou regardest songs of sinful man? 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. Scripture: 1 Kings 8:22-30 Used With Tune: ANGEL VOICES

It tells of benediction, of pardon, grace, and peace, of joy that hath no ending, of love which cannot cease. 2 "Come unto me, dear children, and I will give you light." O loving voice of Jesus, which comes to cheer the night! Our hearts were filled with sadness, and we had lost our way; but morning brings us gladness, and songs the break of day. 3 "Come unto me, ye fainting, and I will give you life." O peaceful voice of Jesus, which comes to end our strife! The foe is stern and eager, the fight is fierce and long; but thou hast made us mighty, and stronger than the strong. 4 "And whosoever cometh I will not cast him out." O patient love of Jesus, which drives away our doubt; which calls us, very sinners, unworthy though we be, of love so free and boundless, to come, dear Lord, to thee!
