1 There’s a song in heav’n they sing,
None on earth its music know,
As they gather ’round the King,
Clad in garments “white as snow;”
With their voices all in key
These they sing this “glad, new song,”
Look on him they love to see,
While the music floats along.

Refrain:
They are singing hallelujahs,
We can catch the glorious strain,
And it seems to touch our heart-strings,
And we echo the refrain,
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
Praise we all the great I Am,
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
Glory to the precious Lamb!

2 There’s a strain the ransomed know,
And they sing it o’er and o’er;
There’s to it a rhythmic flow,
Such as ear ne’er heard before;
And their voices blending sweet
Make heav’n’s arches ring with praise;
The swelling chorus they repeat:
“Lord, to thee our song we raise.” [Refrain]

3 This sweet strain we soon shall know,
When our labor here is done,
When the songs we loved below
Blend with that eternal one;
Here in part we know, but soon
Face to face we’ll see the King,
There to worship God triune,
And the heav’nly anthem sing. [Refrain]
