Heavenly Angels, Listen

Representative Text

1 Heav’nly angels, listen
While earth’s children sing
Songs of joy and gladness
To their mighty King.
let the harps be silent
In bright beams above,
When we sing of Jesus
And His wondrous love.

Chorus:
Heav’nly angels, listen
While earth’s children sing,
Singing loud hosannas
To their mighty King.

2 Gentle Savior, listen
While we sing Thy praise;
Jesus loves the children,
Knows their tho’ts and ways;
Once in childhood’s pleasures
Jesus took delight,
Now He watches o’er us,
Morning, noon and night. [Chorus]

3 O the love of Jesus,
Wonderful, sublime!
How its pow’r increases
With the march of time!
‘Twas for love He suffered
Pain and death and shame;
Praise Him, all creation,
Praise His holy name. [Chorus]
