60.  God’s Choir

 

I heard the angels sing, Glory hallelujah, A mighty chorus way up high.  I heard the angels sing, Praise the name of Jesus, Singing in God's choir in the sky.

I heard a thousand trumpets sounding out his glory, Telling the story how he came to earth to die. I heard a million voices praise the name of Jesus, Singing in God's choir in the sky.

I heard the glorious song coming out of Heaven, The sweetest music ever heard; I heard a mighty song sung by all the angels, My soul thrilled at ev'ry loving word.

I heard a thousand trumpets sounding out his glory, Telling the story how he came to earth to die. I heard a million voices praise the name of Jesus, Singing in God's choir in the sky.

3.

I fell down on my knees when the chorus ended, I shouted out a glad amen.  (Amen!)  I fell down on my knees with that crowd in heaven.  I would hear that choir once again.

I heard a thousand trumpets sounding out his glory, Telling the story how he came to earth to die.  I heard a million voices praise the name of Jesus, Singing in God's choir in the sky.
