Let Angels and Archangels Sing

lyricist: Charles Wesley, 1745
Composer: Thoro Harris, 1910

Let an­gels and arch­an­gels sing

The won­der­ful Im­ma­nu­el’s name

Adore with us our new-born king

And still the joy­ful news pro­claim

All earth and Heav’n be ev­er joined

To praise the Sav­ior of man­kind.

The ev­er­last­ing God comes down

To so­journ with the sons of men;

Without His ma­jes­ty or crown

The Great In­vi­si­ble is seen;

Of all His daz­zling glo­ries shorn

The ev­er­last­ing God is born!

Angels

be­hold the In­fant’s face

With rap­tur­ous awe the God­head own;

’Tis all your heav’n on Him to gaze

And cast your crowns be­fore His throne;

Though now He on His foot­stool lies

Ye know He built both earth and skies.

By Him in­to ex­ist­ence brought

Ye sang the all-cre­at­ing Word;

Ye heard Him call our world from naught;

Again

in hon­or of your Lord

Ye morn­ing-stars your hymns em­ploy

And shout

ye sons of God

for joy.
