Angels, assist to sing
The honours of your God;
Touch every tuneful string,
And sound his name abroad:
Come, pour the trembling notes along,
And swell the grand, immortal song.
And ye of meaner birth,
Your joyful voices raise;
All ye who dwell on earth,
Your great Creator praise;
Let loud hosannas joyful rise,
Roll round the earth and pierce the skies.
Let day and dusky night,
In solemn order, join
His praises to recite,
And speak his power divine:
Let every hill, and eve vale,
Re-echo with the sacred tale.
Ye winds and raging seas,
With wild tempestuous roar
Resound, in mightier lays,
His name from shore to shore:
Ye thunders, spread his name abroad;
Ye lightnings, flash before your God.
Let every creature sing
The honours of our God;
Touch every tuneful string,
And spread his praise abroad:
Come, pour your trembling notes along,
And swell the universal song.
