Horton. 7s

Songs of praise the angels sang,
Heav'n with hallelujahs rang,
When Jehovah's work begun
When He spake, and it was done.

Songs of praise awoke the morn
When the Prince of peace was born;
Songs of praise arose when He
Captive led captivity.

Saints below, with heart and voice,
Still in songs of praise rejoice;
Learning here, by faith and love,
Songs of praise to sing above.

Borne upon their latest breath,
Songs of praise shall conquer death;
Then, a midst eternal joy,
Songs of praise their powers employ.
