Holy, Holy, Is What the Angels Sing
Chords and Lyrics
Song Info
Intro: Last two lines
C
1. There is singing up in heaven
2. But I hear another anthem,
3. Then the angels stand and listen,
4. So, although I’m not an angel,
G C
such as we have never known,
blending voices clear and strong,
for they cannot join that song,
yet I know that over there
F C
Where the angels sing the praises
“Unto Him who hath redeemed us
Like the sound of many waters,
I will join a blessed chorus
G
of the Lamb upon the throne;
and hath bought us,” is the song;
by that happy, blood-washed throng;
that the angels cannot share;
G7
Their sweet harps are ever tuneful
We have come through tribulations
For they sing about great trials,
I will sing about my Savior,
C
and their voices always clear,
to this land so fair and bright,
battles fought and vict’ries won,
who upon dark Calvary
F
O that we might be more like them
In the fountain freely flowing
And they praised the great Redeemer,
Freely pardoned my transgressions,
G C
while we serve the Master here!
He hath made our garments white.
who hath said to them, “Well done.”
died to set the sinner free.
G G7 Am G C
Holy, holy, is what the angels sing,
F C
And I expect to help them make
D D7 G
the courts of heaven ring;
G7 C Am
But when I sing redemption’s story,
F G C
they will fold their wings,
F C G Am
For angels never felt the joys
G G7 C
that our salvation brings.
