Why do the holy angels sing?

from Heaven and earth by Richard Jensen

/

lyrics

Words: Frances J. Crosby, 1868

Verse 1:
Why do the holy angels sing?
Why do the heav’nly arches ring
With anthems sweet from seraphs bright,
With glittering crowns and robes of white?

Verse 2:
Glory to Thee, our God, they cry,
Maker of earth, and sea, and sky,
To Thee our highest strains belong,
Thou great Inspirer of our song.

Chorus:
They sing of the Lamb that was slain,
The Saviour that lives again,
The root of David and offspring
The brightest star of the morning

Verse 3:
Beautiful world where all is bright,
Rivers of gold and fields of light,
In murmured tones of joy prolong
The echo of the angels’ song.

Verse 4:
Well may the holy angels sing,
Well may the heav’nly arches ring,
With anthems sweet from choirs above,
They sing of God, and God is love.
