Angels are singing now

"Angels Are Singing Now" is a bright, marching hymn that naturally lifts the spirit at the end of Mass. With its steady rhythm and joyful melody, it is a favourite for the recessional, sending the congregation out into the world with a spring in their step. The song paints a picture of heaven and earth joining together in worship, inviting us to add our voices to the celestial choir.

The verses carry a simple, encouraging message about walking closely with Christ and leaving the "valley of sin" behind. As the choir moves into the chorus, the arrangement opens up. While the lower voices provide a rhythmic, driving foundation with their repeated alleluias and calls to join in, the sopranos float above it all with a smooth, soaring line declaring that Christ brings peace.

It is the kind of piece that stays in your head long after the service ends. Sung during a festive thanksgiving procession or as the final dismissal hymn on a regular Sunday, it reminds everyone in the pews that praising God is an active, joyful journey we share with the angels.
