Would You Be as Angels Are?

Would you be as angels are?

Published in 47 hymnals

Representative Text

1 Would you be as angels are?
Sing, sing his praise;
Would you banish every care?
Sing, sing his praise;
Like the lark upon the wing,
Like the warbling bird of spring,
Like the crystal spheres that ring,
Sing, sing his praise.

2 If the world upon you frown,
Sing sing his praise;
If you're left to sing alone,
Sing, sing his praise;
If sad trials come to you,
As to every one they do,
For that they are blessings too,
Sing, sing his praise.
