Angel Voices

Angel voices, ever singing, round Thy throne of light,
Angel harps, forever ringing, rest not day or 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 feel that Thou art near us and wilt hear us? Yea, we can.

Yea, we know that Thou rejoicest 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 melody.

Honour, glory, might and merit, Thine shall ever be,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, blessed Trinity;
Of the best that Thou hast given, Earth and heaven render Thee.

This was the dedication hymn played at the inauguration of the Brett Memorial Organ at Teddington Baptist Church on Saturday 2 November 1957.

Words: Francis Pott, written 1861 (1832-1909); Music: E G Monk (1819-1900); midi file created by Colin Hicks
