Songs of Praise the Angels Sang

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 543 hymnals Topics: Music and Singing Lyrics: 1 Songs of praise the angels sang, heaven with hallelujahs 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 will people silent be till that glorious day they see? 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. 6 Hymns of glory, songs of praise, blessed God, to you we raise. Jesus, Saviour, Living Word, with the Spirit be adored. Used With Tune: CULBACH
