138. 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.
2.
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.
