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.
