While all His holy angels

Verse 1
While all his holy angels
With hymns of praise surround him,
We sing below, Who Jesus know,
And in our hearts have found him:
Whom Moses and the prophets
Foretold by inspiration,
We now embrace, Our Lord confess,
Our Saviour, and Salvation.

Verse 2
To all our guilty brethren
We the good news discover,
Believe, and you Shall find Him too,
The universal Lover;
Receive the true Messias
Whom God to man hath given,
And when you see, And know tis He,
You know the joys of heaven.
