Angel voices by Hart Pease Danks — Lyrics
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 Thy love rejoices (or that Thou rejoicest)
O’er each work of Thine;
Thou didst ears and hands and voices
For Thy praise combine; (or design;)

About Angel voices
This hymn, with its English text and SATB voicing, is well-suited for services of dedication or thanksgiving. The composer offers a devotional text expressing profound awe before the divine, pondering God's boundless nature and gracious attention to human prayer. The lyrics acknowledge our mortal limitations and confess our sins, yet affirm a hopeful trust in God's love and presence. The music would serve to lift the voices of the faithful in praise and confession, reflecting on God's creative power and the purpose of music and art to celebrate His glory. It is a heartfelt offering of devotion and a confession of faith from a choir to their God.
