Angel Voices by Andrew Sims — 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 piece for solo voice, sung in English, expresses profound adoration and humble supplication. The text paints a heavenly scene of angels ceaselessly praising God, their voices and harps eternally resounding. It then turns to the human perspective, questioning if a divine being, beyond human comprehension, would heed the songs of imperfect mortals. The composer responds with affirmation, suggesting God's love embraces all His creation and delights in the praise He inspires. The lyrics contemplate the divine design behind human faculties, including voices, and their purpose in glorifying the Creator. It culminates in an offering, dedicating the gifts received from God back to Him.
