Come, angels, seize your harps of gold by Thomas Clark — Lyrics
COME Angels! seize your harps of gold,
The song of love to man unfold;
Assist our joys, exalt your praise,
Another sinner sav'd by grace.
Glory, glory, let us sing,
While heav'n and earth with glory ring,
Hosanna to the Lamb of God.
A leper wash'd from ev'ry stain,
Requires a higher, louder strain;
The Spirit's stamp'd and seal'd within,
The blood of Christ hath cleans'd from sin:
Satan feels his pow'r is gone,
He falls like light'ning from his throne,
Hosanna to the Lamb of God.
