1 Songs of praise the angels sang,
Heaven with alleluias rang,
When Jehovah's work begun,
When he spake, and it was done.
1A Songs of praise the angels sang,
heaven with hallelujahs rang
when creation was begun;
when God spoke, and it was done.
2 Songs of praise awoke the morn
When the Prince of Peace was born;
Songs of praise arose when he
Captive led captivity.
2A Songs of praise awoke the dawn
when the Prince of peace was born;
songs of praise arose when he
captive led captivity.
3 Heaven and earth must pass away,
Songs of praise shall crown that day;
God will make new heavens, new earth,
Songs of praise shall hail their birth.
3A Heaven and earth must pass away-
songs of praise shall crown that day!
God will make new heavens and earth-
songs of praise shall greet their birth!
4 And shall earth alone be dumb
Till that glorious kingdom come?
No! The church delights to raise
Psalms and hymns and songs of praise.
4A And shall man alone be dumb
till that glorious kingdom come?
No! the church delights to raise
psalms and hymns and songs of praise.
4B And shall human voice be dumb
till that glorious kingdom come?
No! the church delights to raise
psalms and hymns and songs of praise.
5 Saints below, with heart and voice,
Still in songs of praise rejoice,
Learning here, by faith and love,
Songs of praise to sing above.
6 Borne upon their latest breath,
Songs of praise shall conquer death;
Then, amidst eternal joy,
Songs of praise their powers employ.
6A Borne upon their final breath,
songs of praise shall conquer death;
then, amidst eternal joy,
songs of praise their powers employ.
