Angels, assist to sing

1 Angels! assist to sing
The honors of your God;
Touch every tuneful string,
And sound his name abroad:
Come, pour the trembling notes along,
And swell the grand immortal song.

2 And ye of meaner birth!
Your joyful voices raise;
Inhabitants of earth!
Your great Creator praise:
Let your hosannas joyful rise,
And shake the earth, and pierce the skies.

3 Let day and dusky night,
In solemn order join
His praises to recite,
And speak his power divine:
Let every hill and every vale
Re-echo with the sacred tale.

4 Let every creature sing
The honors of our God;
Touch every tuneful string,
And spread his praise abroad:
Come, pour the trembling notes along,
And swell the universal song.
