The Silver Chime ‎#28

28. There's a Song the Angels Sing

1 There’s a song the an­gels sing,
And its notes with rap­ture ring
Round the throne whose ra­di­ance fills the heav'n above.

Semi Chorus:
Shepherds heard a dist­ant strain,
Watching on Ju­de­a’s plain,
"Glory, glory be to God, to men be peace and love.

Full 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;

Semi Chorus:
Join with an­gels in their song,
And the heav'nly strain pro­long,
"Glory, glory be to God, good will and peace to men. [Full Chorus]

3 Soon around that throne may we
With those hap­py an­gels be,
Striking harps to strains that nev­er­more shall cease.

Semi Chorus:
Mingling love with lof­ti­est praise,
Still the chor­us there we’ll raise,
"Glory, glory be to God, to men good will and peace. [Full Chorus]
