The New Song
J. R. Baxter • English
Primary Scripture: Revelation 14:3
Verse 1
It thrills my soul to hear the songs of praise, We mortals sing below, And tho it takes the parting of the ways, yet I must onward go; I hope to hear thru-out unnumbered days, The song earth cannot know, They sing in heav'n a new song, Of Moses and the Lamb.
Chorus
I want to hear angels sweetly sing, and to welcome to those mansions fair; O to hear glad harps sweetly ring, blending, O, so rich and so rare; I want to hear that mighty chorus sweetly sing, I want to hear that mighty chorus sweetly sing, I want to hear that mighty chorus sweetly sing, To hear it swell and ring!
Verse 2
The greatest joy that I have ever known, Is praising Him in song, I know some day when I have older grown, My voice will not be strong; but if good seed for Jesus I have sown, With angels I'll belong, They sing in heav'n a new song, Of Moses and the Lamb.
Chorus
I want to hear angels sweetly sing, and to welcome to those mansions fair; O to hear glad harps sweetly ring, blending, O, so rich and so rare; I want to hear that mighty chorus sweetly sing, I want to hear that mighty chorus sweetly sing, I want to hear that mighty chorus sweetly sing, To hear it swell and ring!
Verse 3
The sweetest song that earth can ever boast, Was sung when Christ was born, Yet He who walked the Galileean coast, Sometimes was sad forlorn; He left the earth to send the Holy Ghost, To guide us till that morn, They sing in heav'n a new song, Of Moses and the Lamb.
Chorus
I want to hear angels sweetly sing, and to welcome to those mansions fair; O to hear glad harps sweetly ring, blending, O, so rich and so rare; I want to hear that mighty chorus sweetly sing, I want to hear that mighty chorus sweetly sing, I want to hear that mighty chorus sweetly sing, To hear it swell and ring!
