Angels, Assist to Sing

Angels

as­sist to sing

The hon­ors 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 ev­ery 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 hon­ors of our God;

Touch ev­ery tune­ful string

And spread His praise abroad;

Come

pour your trem­bling notes along

And swell the uni­vers­al song.
