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 that day;
God will make new heavens and earth,
Songs of praise shall hail their birth.
And will man alone be dumb
'Till that glorious kingdom come?
No; the church delights to raise
Psalms, and hymns, and songs of praise.
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.
