Tune: CHOIR OF ANGELS
Published in 14 hymnals


Representative Text

1 Hear the glorious proclamation,
The glad tidings of salvation,
Hear the glorious proclamation
Of the Saviour near.

Chorus:
While the choir of angels,
While the choir of angels,
While the choir of angels,
Shall be chanting through the sky.

2 Hark! the tidings onward rolling,
Jesus comes, the world controlling;
Hark! the tidings onward rolling,
Jesus comes to reign. [Chorus]

3 See the sign in heaven appearing,
And the blazing chariot nearing;
See the sign in heaven appearing,
And the Saviour there. [Chorus]

4 See the earth in terror shaking,
And the dead to life awaking;
See the earth in terror shaking,
And the saints arise. [Chorus]

5 Now on wings of light ascending,
With a shining host attending;
Now on wings of light ascending,
See them mount the skies. [Chorus]

6 See, the banner waves in glory,
While ten thousand tell the story;
See, the banner waves in glory,
And the saints are there. [Chorus]

7 They are saved from death forever,
Praise to Him who did deliver;
They are saved from death forever,
And to die no more. [Chorus]
