Hymn Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk - Christian Hymn Lyrics.  

While angels thus, O Lord, rejoice 
 While angels thus, O Lord, rejoice, Shall men no anthem raise O may we lose these useless tongues. When we forget to praise! 
 Then let us swell responsive notes. And join the heavenly throng; For angels no such love have Known. As we, to wake their aong. 
 Good-will to sinful dust is shown, And peace on earth is given; For lo! th' incarnate Saviour comes, With news of joy from heaven! 
 Mercy and truth, with sweet accord, His rising beams adorn; Let heaven and earth in concert sing, "The promis'd child is born!" 
 Glory to God, in highest strains, By highest worlds is paid ; Be glory, then, by us proclaimed, And by our lives displayed; 
 Till we attain those blissful realms, Where now our Saviour reigns; To rival these celestial choirs In their immortal strains!
