| Text: | There's a song the angels sing |
| Tune: | THE SONG OF ANGELS |
| Composer: | E. Roberts |
1 There’s a song the angels sing,
And its notes with rapture ring,
Round the throne whose radiance fills the heavens above.
Shepherds heard a distant strain,
Watching on Judea’s plain,
"Glory, glory, glory be to God, to men be peace and love."
Chorus:
Thro’ the earth and thro’ the sky,
Let the anthem ever fly,
Peace, good will to men,
and glory be to God on high.
2 ’Tis a song for children too,
To the Saviour ’tis their due;
Let its grateful notes ascend to him again;
Join with angels in their song,
And the heavenly strain prolong,
"Glory be to God, good will and peace to men."
[Chorus]
3 Soon around that throne may we
With those happy angels be,
Striking harps to strains that nevermore shall cease;
Mingling love with loftiest praise,
Still the chorus there we’ll raise,
"Glory be to God, to men good will and peace." [Chorus]
