Lyrics:
Verse 1
It thrills my soul to hear the songs of praise,
We mortals sing below,
And tho it takes the parting of the ways,
yet I must onward go;
I hope to hear thru-out unnumbered days,
The song earth cannot know,
They sing in heav'n a new song,
Of Moses and the Lamb.
Refrain:
O to hear the angels singing,
to bid me welcome to mansions bright and fair;
O to hear the glad harps ringing,
with voices blending rich and rare;
O to see the Master bringing,
A precious lifecrown
that I may own and wear,
I want to hear that mighty chorus sweetly sing,
I want to hear that mighty chorus sweetly sing,
I want to hear that mighty chorus sweetly sing,
To hear it swell and ring!
Verse 2
The greatest joy that I have ever known,
Is praising Him in song,
I know some day when I have older grown,
My voice will not be strong;
but if good seed for Jesus I have sown,
With angels I'll belong,
They sing in heav'n a new song,
Of Moses and the Lamb. [Refrain]
Verse 3
The sweetest song that earth can ever boast,
Was sung when Christ was born,
Yet He who walked the Galilean coast,
Sometimes was sad forlorn;
He left the earth to send the Holy Ghost,
To guide us till that morn,
They sing in heav'n a new song,
Of Moses and the Lamb. [Refrain]
