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.
