The New Christian Hymnal ‎#21

21. Angel Voices, Ever Singing

1 Angel voices, ever singing
Round Thy throne of light,
Angel harps, forever ringing,
Rest not day nor night;
Thousands only live to bless Thee,
And confess Thee Lord of might.

2 Thou who art beyond the farthest
Mortal eye can scan,
Can it be that Thou regardest
Songs of sinful man?
Can we feel that Thou art near us,
And wilt hear us? Yea, we can.

3 Here, great God, today we offer
Of Thine own to Thee;
And for Thine acceptance proffer,
All unworthily,
Hearts and minds, and hands and voice,
In our choicest melody.

4 Honor, glory, might, and merit,
Thine shall ever be,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
Blessed Trinity:
Of the best that Thou hast given
Earth and heaven render Thee.
