Music: Morning Song
Meter: 86.86.86
The angels are a nod away
from bursting into song.
A mighty host crowds heaven’s door,
ten times ten thousand strong!
But near enough the throne of God
to see His holy face,
And wait th’ appointed hour to break
through mortal time and space.
Just as they did that glorious night
when shepherds heard them sing,
Proclaiming to the world the birth
of Jesus Christ the King!
They oft’ are sent to minister
to saints who dwell below,
To heirs of God’s redeeming grace,
O how they long to know!
When on the day of Christ’s return
triumphant news they bring,
We’ll join their everlasting song
and sing, we’ll ever sing!
