Songs of Praise the Angels Sang

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 542 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Songs of praise the angels sang, Heav'n 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. Heav'n and earth must pass away! Songs of praise shall crown that day! God will make new heav'ns and earth; Songs of praise shall hail their birth. 4. And shall Christians fail to sing Till on earth Christ comes as King?

Now the dark cold days are over, Light and gladness are before. 3 How our hearts leap with the spring! How our spirits soar and sing!
