RCCG HYMN 142

Songs of Praise the Angels Sang

"Glory to God in highest." - Luke 2:14

THE BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST 6 VERSES

VERSE 1

Songs of praise the angels sang,
Heav'n with alleluias rang,
When creation was begun,
When God spake, and it was done.

VERSE 2

Songs of praise awoke the morn
When the Prince of Peace was born;
Songs of praise arose when He
Captive led captivity.

VERSE 3

Heav'n and earth must pass away;
Songs of praise shall crown that day;
God will make new heav'ns and earth
Songs of praise shall hail their birth.

VERSE 4

And can man alone be dumb
Till that glorious Kingdom come?
No! the church delights to raise
Psalms, and hymns, and songs of praise.

VERSE 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.

VERSE 6

Borne upon their latest breath,
Songs of praise shall conquer death;
Then, amidst eternal joy,
Songs of praise their pow'rs employ.
