God will make new heavens and earth– songs of praise shall hail their birth! 4 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 final breath, songs of praise shall conquer death; then, amidst eternal joy, songs of praise their power employ.
