256. Songs of praise the angels sang
Four 7's
Innocents:
Arr. from G. F. Handel, 1728
James Montgomery, 1819
Songs of praise the angels sang, Heaven with alleluias rang, When Jehovah's work begun, When he spake and it was done. | Songs of praise awoke the morn, When the Prince of Peace was born; Songs of praise arose when He Captive led captivity. | 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. | And shall man alone be dumb, Till that glorious kingdom come? No; the Church delights to raise Psalms, and hymns, and songs of praise. | Saints below, with heart and voice, Still in songs of praise rejoice; Learning here, by faith and love, Songs of praise to sing above. | 233 Borne upon their latest breath, Songs of praise shall conquer death Then, amidst eternal joy, Songs of praise their powers employ. | |
