Hark! the notes of angels singing,
�Glory, glory to the Lamb!�
All in Heaven their tribute bringing,
Raising high the Savior�s Name.
Ye for whom His life was given,
Sacred themes to you belong:
Come, assist the choir of Heaven,
Join the everlasting song.
See! the angelic hosts have crowned Him,
Jesus fills the throne on high;
Countless myriads, hovering round Him,
With His praises rend the sky.
Filled with holy emulation,
Let us vie with those above:
Sweet the theme, a free salvation,
Fruit of everlasting love.
Endless life in Him possessing,
Let us praise His precious Name;
Glory, honor, power and blessing
Be forever to the Lamb.
---Alternative verses---
Hark! the notes of angels singing,
Glory, glory to the Lamb;
All in heaven their tribute bringing,
Love and praise the Saviour�s name.
Ye for whom his life was given,
Life and bliss to you belong;
Earth is yours, and also heaven;
Join the everlasting song.
Saints and angels, thus united,
But a feeble tribute raise;
Though despised on earth, and slighted,
Jesus is above all praise.
Endless life in him possessing,
Let us still adore his name:
Glory, honour, power, and blessing,
Be to God and to the Lamb.
