Author: Francis Pott (1832-1909)
Angel voices ever singing
round your throne of light,
angel music ever ringing
rests not day or night;
thousands only live to bless you
and confess you Lord of might.
2. Lord, beyond our mortal sight
in glory far away,
can it be that you delight
in sinners’ songs today;
may we know that you are near us
and will hear us? Yes, we may!
3. Yes, we know your heart rejoices
in each work divine,
using minds and hands and voices
in your great design;
craftsman’s art and music’s measure
for your pleasure all combine.
4. Here to you, great God, we offer
praise in harmony,
and for your acceptance proffer
all unworthily
hearts and minds and hands and voices
in our choicest psalmody.
5. Honour, glory, might and merit
for your works and ways,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
God through endless days!
With the best that you have given
earth and heaven render praise.
