Songs of Praise the Angels Sang
Four 7's

[980]Innocents:

Arr. from G. F. Handel, 1728

James Montgomery, 1819

Songs of praise the angels sang,

Heaven with alleluias rang,

When Jehovah's work begun,

When he spake and it was done.

Songs of praise awoke the morn,

When the Prince of Peace was born;

Songs of praise arose when He

Captive led captivity.

Heaven and earth must pass away;

Songs of praise shall crown that day:

God will make new heavens and earth;

Songs of praise shall hail their birth.

And shall man alone be dumb,

Till that glorious kingdom come?

No; the Church delights to raise

Psalms, and hymns, and songs of praise.

Saints below, with heart and voice,

Still in songs of praise rejoice;

Learning here, by faith and love,

Songs of praise to sing above.

Borne upon their latest breath,

Songs of praise shall conquer death

Then, amidst eternal joy,

Songs of praise their powers employ.
