MY CHOICE OF MORNING HYMN TODAY - ANGEL VOICES

Angel voices ever singing, round Thy throne of light,

Angel harps forever ringing, Rest not day nor night;

Thousands only live to bless Thee, And confess Thee 

Lord of might.

Thou who art beyond the farthest, Mortal eye can scan,

Can it be that Thou regardest songs of sinful man?

Can we know that Thou art near us and will hear us?

Yea we can.

Yea, we know that Thou rejoiest, O'er each work of Thine

Thou didst ears, and hands, and voices,

For Thy praise design'

Craftsman's art and music's measure 

For Thy pleasure

All combine.

In Thy house, great God, we offer

Of Thine own to Thee

And for Thine acceptance proffer,

All unworthily,

Hearts and minds and hands and voices

In our choicest

Psalmody.

Honour, glory, might and merit

Thine shall ever be,.

Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Blessed Trinity.

Of the best that Thou has given

Earth and heaven

Render Thee.

(Francis Pott)

I have always enjoyed singing and reading hymns and have found them helpful in times of despair and sorrow as well as in times of joy. I do not like it when the orirginal words written have been changed to more modern versions. Have a good day.
