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.
