Author: J. Montgomery Hymnal: The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 #476a (1894) Lyrics: 1 Songs of praise the angels sang;
Heaven with alleluias rang,
When Jehovah's work begun,
When He spake and it was done.
2 Heaven and earth must pass away;
Songs of praise shall crown that day;
God will make new heavens, new earth;
Songs of praise shall hail their birth.
3 And shall man alone be dumb,
Till that glorious kingdom come?
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 Borne upon their latest breath,
Songs of praise shall conquer death;
Then, amidst eternal joy,
Songs of praise their powers employ.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: [Songs of praise the angels sang]
