Angels Now Are Hovering Round Us

Angels now are ho­ver­ing round us

Unperceived among the throng;

Wondering at the love that crowned us

Glad to sing the ho­ly song;

Hallelujah

hal­le­lu­jah

Love and praise to Christ be­long!

Now I see with joy and won­der

Whence the heal­ing streams arose

Angel minds are lost to pon­der

Dying love’s mys­te­ri­ous cause;

Yet the bless­ing

yet the bless­ing

Down on all

to me it flows!

This hath set me all on fire;

Strongly grows the flame of love;

Higher mounts my soul

and high­er

Struggles for its swift re­move;

Then I’ll praise Him

then I’ll praise Him

In a nob­ler strain abo­ve!
