Ab                                            Eb7   Ab
There is singing up in heaven such as we have never known,

Ab Db Ab Eb7
Where the angels sing the praises of the Lamb upon the throne;

Eb7 Ab Eb7 Ab
Their sweet harps are ever tuneful and their voices always clear,

Ab Eb7 Ab
O that we might be more like them while we serve the Master here!

Ab Eb7 Fm Eb Ab
Holy, holy, is what the angels sing,

Db Ab Eb Bb7 Eb
And I expect to help them make the courts of heaven ring;

Eb7 Ab Eb7 Ab
But when I sing redemption’s story, they will fold their wings,

Db Ab Eb7 Ab Eb Eb7 Ab
For angels never felt the joys that our sal-vation brings.

[[Full Lyrics]] [Verse 1] There is singing up in heaven such as we have never known, Where the angels sing the praises of the Lamb upon the throne; Their sweet harps are ever tuneful and their voices are always clear, O that we might be more like them while we serve the Master here! [Refrain] Holy, holy, is what the angels sing, And I expect to help them make the courts of heaven ring; But when I sing redemption’s story, they will fold their wings, For angels never felt the joys that our salvation brings. [Verse 2] But I hear another anthem, blending voices clear and strong, “Unto Him who hath redeemed us and hath bought us,” is the song; We have come thro’ tribulations to this land so fair and bright, In the fountain freely flowing He hath made our garments white. [Verse 3] Then the angels stand and listen, for they cannot join that song, Like the sound of many waters, by that happy, blood-washed throng; For they sing about great trials, battles fought and vict’ries won, And they praised the great Redeemer, who hath said to them, “Well done.” [Verse 4] So, although I’m not an angel, yet I know that over there I will join a blessed chorus that the angels cannot share; I will sing about my Savior, who upon dark Calvary Freely pardoned my transgressions, died to set the sinner free.
