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.
