Heaven with hallelujahs rang,
When creation was begun,
When God spake 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. A-men.
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 Saints below with heart and voice
Still in songs of praise rejoice;
Learning here, by faith and love,
Songs of praise to sing above.
5 Hymns of glory, songs of praise,
Father, unto thee we raise,
Jesus, glory unto thee,
With the Spirit, ever be.
Amen.
