The New Song
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 thru-out unnumbered days,
The song earth cannot know,
They sing in heav'n a new song,
Of Moses and the Lamb.
Refrain:
I want to hear angels sweetly sing, and to welcome to those mansions fair;
O to hear glad harps sweetly ring, blending, O, so rich and so rare;
I want to hear that mighty chorus sweetly sing,
I want to hear that mighty chorus sweetly sing,
I want to hear that mighty chorus sweetly sing,
To hear it swell and ring!
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.
Refrain:
I want to hear angels sweetly sing, and to welcome to those mansions fair;
O to hear glad harps sweetly ring, blending, O, so rich and so rare;
I want to hear that mighty chorus sweetly sing,
I want to hear that mighty chorus sweetly sing,
I want to hear that mighty chorus sweetly sing,
To hear it swell and ring!
The sweetest song that earth can ever boast,
Was sung when Christ was born,
Yet He who walked the Galileean 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.
Refrain:
I want to hear angels sweetly sing, and to welcome to those mansions fair;
O to hear glad harps sweetly ring, blending, O, so rich and so rare;
I want to hear that mighty chorus sweetly sing,
I want to hear that mighty chorus sweetly sing,
I want to hear that mighty chorus sweetly sing,
To hear it swell and ring!
