Angel Voices Ever Singing

Angel Voices Ever Singing

1
Angel voices ever singing
Round Thy throne of light,
Angel harps forever ringing,
Rest not day nor night;

2
Thousands only live to bless Thee,
And confess Thee
Lord of might.

3
Thou who art beyond the farthest
Mortal eye can scan,
Can it be that Thou regardest
Songs of sinful man?

4
Can we know that Thou art near us
And wilt hear us?
Yes, we can.

5
Yes, we know that Thou rejoicest
O'er each work of Thine;
Thou didst ears and hands and voices
For Thy praise design;

6
Craftsman's art and music's measure
For Thy pleasure
All combine.

7
In Thy house, great God, we offer
Of Thine own to Thee,
And for Thine acceptance proffer,
All unworthily,

8
Hearts and minds and hands and voices
In our choicest
Psalmody.

9
Honour, glory, might, and merit
Thine shall ever be,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
Blessed Trinity.

10
Of the best that Thou hast given
Earth and heaven
Render Thee.
