Intro: Last two lines C 1. There is singing up in heaven 2. But I hear another anthem, 3. Then the angels stand and listen, 4. So, although I’m not an angel, G C such as we have never known, blending voices clear and strong, for they cannot join that song, yet I know that over there F C Where the angels sing the praises “Unto Him who hath redeemed us Like the sound of many waters, I will join a blessed chorus G of the Lamb upon the throne; and hath bought us,” is the song; by that happy, blood-washed throng; that the angels cannot share; G7 Their sweet harps are ever tuneful We have come through tribulations For they sing about great trials, I will sing about my Savior, C and their voices always clear, to this land so fair and bright, battles fought and vict’ries won, who upon dark Calvary F O that we might be more like them In the fountain freely flowing And they praised the great Redeemer, Freely pardoned my transgressions, G C while we serve the Master here! He hath made our garments white. who hath said to them, “Well done.” died to set the sinner free. G G7 Am G C Holy, holy, is what the angels sing, F C And I expect to help them make D D7 G the courts of heaven ring; G7 C Am But when I sing redemption’s story, F G C they will fold their wings, F C G Am For angels never felt the joys G G7 C that our salvation brings.
