Now Let Us Join With Hearts And Tongues Lyrics

1. Now let us join with hearts and tongues,
And emulate the angels' songs;
Yea, sinners may address their King
In songs that angels cannot sing.

2. They praise the Lamb who once was slain,
But we can add a higher strain;
Not only say, "He suffered thus,"
But, that he suffered all for us.

3. When angels by transgression fell,
Justice consigned them all to hell;
But mercy formed a wondrous plan,
To save, and honor fallen man.

4. Jesus, who passed the angels by,
Assumed our flesh to bleed and die;
And still he makes it his abode,
As man, he fills the throne of God.

5. Our next of kin, our Brother now,
Is he to whom the angels bow;
They join with us to praise his name,
But we the nearest interest claim.

6. But ah! how faint our praises rise!
Sure, 'tis the wonder of the skies;
That we, who share his richest love,
So cold and unconcerned should prove.

7. O glorious hour it comes with speed
When we from sin and darkness freed,
Shall see the GOD who died for man,
And praise him more than angels can.
