Author: Worth Andrews Hymnal: Gospel Praise Book. #307 (1885) First Line: Quickly the bright angelic host Refrain First Line: "Glory to God!" the angels sing Lyrics: 1 Quickly the bright angelic host
Descend from heaven to earth;
Gladly, where man in sin is lost,
They tell a Saviour’s birth.
Chorus:
“Glory to God!” the angels sing,
Nor shall their songs be vain;
“Glory to God,” shall sweetly ring,
Till earth shall catch the strain.
2 Quickly the bright angelic throng
Still carry tidings sweet;
Gladly they bear the soul along
Up to the mercy-seat. [Chorus]
3 Quickly the bright angelic wing
The distant azure cleave;
Gladly the heavenly arches ring,
When souls repent and live. [Chorus]
4 Quickly the tidings pass along,
From earth to heav’n’s high dome,
Gladly bright seraphs join the song,
When prodigals come home. [Chorus]
