Angels, as­sist to sing
The hon­ors of your God;
Touch ev­ery tune­ful string,
And sound His name abroad;
Come, pour the trem­bling notes along,
And swell the grand, im­mor­tal song.

And ye of mean­er birth,
Your joy­ful voic­es raise;
All ye who dwell on earth,
Your great Cre­at­or praise;
Let loud ho­san­nas joy­ful rise,
Roll round the earth and pierce the skies.

Let day and dus­ky night
In so­lemn or­der, join
His prais­es to re­cite,
And speak His pow­er di­vine;
Let ev­ery hill, and ev­ery vale,
Re-echo with the sac­red tale.

Ye winds and rag­ing seas,
With wild tem­pes­tu­ous roar
Resound in migh­ti­er lays,
His name from shore to shore;
Ye thun­ders, spread His name abroad;
Ye light­nings, flash be­fore your God.

Let ev­ery crea­ture sing
The hon­ors of our God;
Touch ev­ery tune­ful string,
And spread His praise abroad;
Come, pour your trem­bling notes along,
And swell the uni­vers­al song.
