Lyrics & Stanzas
4 portions
Verse 1
It thrills my soul to hear the songs of praise, We mortals sing below, And tho' it takes the parting of the ways, Yet I must onward go. I hope to hear thruout unnumbered days, The song earth cannot know, They sing in heav'n a new song, Of Moses and the Lamb,
Verse 2
The greatest joy that I have ever known, Is praising Him in song, I know some day when I have older grown, My voice will not be strong; But if good seed for Jesus I have sown, With angels I'll belong, They sing in heav'n a new song, Of Moses and the Lamb,
Verse 3
The sweetest song that earth can ever boast, Was sung when Christ was born, Yet He who walked the Galilean coast, Sometimes was sad forlorn; He left the earth to send the Holy Ghost, To guide us till that morn, They sing in heav'n a new song, Of Moses and the Lamb,
Chorus
(I want to hear) O to hear the angels singing, (angels sweetly sing,) To bid me welcome to mansions bright and fair; (and to welcome me to those mansions fair;) (I want to hear) O to hear the glad harps ringing, (glad harps sweetly ring,) With voices blending rich and rare; (blending, O, so rich and rare, so rare;) (I want to see) O to see the Master bringing, (see the Master bring,) A precious life-crown that I may own and wear; (crown of life to me, yes, to own and wear;) I want to hear, (hear that mighty chorus sweetly sing, I want to hear,) hear that mighty chorus sweetly sing, I want to hear, (hear that mighty chorus sweetly sing,) To hear it swell and ring!
