LyicsSONGS of praise awoke the morn
When the Prince of peace was born;
Songs of praise arose when he
Captive led captivity.
Heaven and earth must pass away-
Songs of praise shall crown the day;
God will make new heavens and earth-
Songs of praise shall hail their birth.
Saints below, with heart and voice,
Still in songs of praise rejoice,
Learning here, by faith and love,
Songs of praise to sing above.
Borne upon the latest breath,
Songs of praise shall conquer death;
Then, amidst eternal joy,
Songs of praise their powers employ.
