Ye Heavenly Choir Assist Me To Sing

1. Ye heavenly choir, Assist me to sing,
And strike the soft lyre, And honour our King:
His mighty salvation Demands all our praise,
Our best adoration, And loftiest lays.
2 All glory to God, Who ruleth on high,
And now hath bestow'd And sent from the sky
Christ Jesus the Saviour, Poor mortals to bless:
The pledge of His favour. The seal of His peace.
