English Lyrics
Verse 1
There is singing up in the heaven such as we have never known, Where the angels sing the praises of the Lamb upon the throne; Their sweet harps are ever tuneful and their voices always clear, O that we might be more like them while we serve the Master here!
Chorus
Holy, Holy, is what the angels sing, And I expect to help them make the courts of heaven ring; But when I sing redemption's story, they will fold their wings, For angels never felt the joys that our salvation brings.
Verse 2
But I hear another anthem, blending voices clear and strong, 'Unto Him who hath redeemed us and hath bought us,' is the song; We have come thro' tribulations to this land so fair and bright, In the fountain freely flowing He hath made our garments white.
Verse 3
Then the angels stand and listen for they cannot join that song, Like the sound of many waters, by that happy, blood washed throng; For they sing about great trials, battles fought and vict'ries won, And they praise their great Redeemer, who hath said to them, 'Well done.'
Verse 4
So, although I'm not an angel, yet I know that over there I will join a blessed chorus that the angel cannot share; I will sing about my Savior, who upon dark Calvary Freely pardoned my transgressions, died to set a sinner free
