Lyrics
WHEN ANGELS SING
When angels sing the stars shine bright in heaven
And moonlight streams down from the sky above
And every living creature feels the wonder
And the comfort, and the aegis of His love
When I was young my grandad read the good book
He taught me that in heaven there?s a king
It was His word that made the whole creation
And I would hear it soon when angels sing
He said, ?They sing the sweetest song that you will ever hear
Every word is sung with glory, blessed cheer
They can fill your heart with joy, so believe in this my boy
There?s no greater love than knowing He is near?
Oh ?When angels sing? are the last words I remember,
That my grandad said the day he passed away,
When I looked down I could see that he was listening
Then he breathed his last and I began to pray
Oh they sing the sweetest song that I could ever hear
Every word is sung with glory, blessed cheer
And they fill my heart with joy, I?ve believed since just a boy
There?s no greater love than knowing He is near
