1.
Angel voices, ever singing
Round your throne of light,
Angel harps, for ever ringing,
Rest not day nor night;
Thousands only live to bless you,
And confess you, Lord of might.
2.
You who are beyond the farthest
Mortal eye can scan,
Can it be that you regard us,
Sons of sinful man?
Can we know that you are near us,
And wilt hear us? Yea, we can.
3.
Yea, we know that your rejoices still
O’er your work sublime;
You made ears and hands and voices
For your praise design;
Craftsman’s art and music’s measure,
For your pleasure, all combine.
4.
In your house, great God, we offer,
Of your own to you,
And for your acceptance proffer
All unworthily,
Hearts and minds, and hands and voices,
In our choicest psalmody.
5.
Honour, glory, might, and merit,
Yours shall ever be,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
Blessed Trinity,
Of the best that you have given
Earth and heaven render you. Amen.
