about
Tune by Vermont composer Jeremiah Ingalls (1764-1828).
lyrics
How can I sleep when angels sing
And all the saints on high,
Cry glory to the'eternal King,
The Lamb that once did die?
When guardian angels fill the room,
And hov'ring 'round my bed,
Do clap their wings in love to Him,
Who is my glorious head?
O! how can I inactive lie
And thoughtless all the night,
When those celestial spirits praise
The Lord with all their might?
Such joyful spirits never sleep,
Their love is ever new;
Then Oh, my soul no longer cease
To love and praise Him, too.
And all the saints on high,
Cry glory to the'eternal King,
The Lamb that once did die?
When guardian angels fill the room,
And hov'ring 'round my bed,
Do clap their wings in love to Him,
Who is my glorious head?
O! how can I inactive lie
And thoughtless all the night,
When those celestial spirits praise
The Lord with all their might?
Such joyful spirits never sleep,
Their love is ever new;
Then Oh, my soul no longer cease
To love and praise Him, too.
