425   Holy Holy Is What the Angels Sing




[1]
There is singing up in heaven such as we have never known
Where the angels sing the praises of the Lamb upon the throne;
Their sweet harps are ever tuneful and their voices always clear
O that we might be more like them while we serve the Master here!

[C]
Holy holy is what the angels sing
And I expect to help them make the courts of heaven ring;
But when I sing redemption s story they will fold their wings


For angels never felt the joys that our salvation brings.

[2]
But I hear another anthem blending voices clear and strong
"Unto Him who hath redeemed us and hath bought us " is the song;
We have come thro tribulations to this land so fair and bright


In the fountain freely flowing He hath made our garments white.

[C]
Holy holy is what the angels sing
And I expect to help them make the courts of heaven ring;
But when I sing redemption s story they will fold their wings


For angels never felt the joys that our salvation brings.

[3]
Then the angels stand and listen for they cannot join that song
Like the sound of many waters by that happy bloodwashed throng;
For they sing about great trials battles fought and vict ries won
And they praise their great Redeemer who hath said to them "Well done."

[C]
Holy holy is what the angels sing
And I expect to help them make the courts of heaven ring;
But when I sing redemption s story they will fold their wings


For angels never felt the joys that our salvation brings.

[4]
So although I m not an angel yet I know that over there
I will join a blessed chorus that the angels cannot share;
I will sing about my Savior who upon dark Calvary
Freely pardoned my transgressions died to set a sinner free.

[C]
Holy holy is what the angels sing
And I expect to help them make the courts of heaven ring;
But when I sing redemption s story they will fold their wings


For angels never felt the joys that our salvation brings.
