Angel voices ever singing

Angel voices ever singing 

1. Angel voices ever singing

Round Thy throne of light

Angel harps for ever ringing,

Rest not day or night;

Thousands only live to bless Thee,

And confess Thee,

Lord of might.

2. Thou, who art beyond the farthest

Mental eye can scan.

Can it be that Thou regardest

Songs of sinful man?

Can we feel that Thou art near us

And wilt hear us?

Yea, we can.

3. Yea, we*know Thy love rejoices

O’er each work of Thine;

Thou didst ears and hands and voices

For Thy praise combine;

Craftsman’s art and music’s measure

For Thy pleasure

Didst design.

4. Here, great God, today we offer

Of Thine own to Thee;

And for Thine acceptance proffer,

All unworthily,

Hearts and minds, and hands, and voices

In our choicest Melody.

5. Honour, glory, might, and merit,

Thine shall ever be,

Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,

Blessed Trinity:

Of the best that Thou hast given,

Earth and heaven

Render Thee.
