Verse 1

[D]There is singing up in hea[A7]ven s[D]uch as we have never known,
[D]Where the [G]angels[D] sing the praises[A7] of the Lamb upon the throne;
[A7]Their sweet harps[D] are ever t[A7]uneful an[D]d their voices always clear,
[D]O that we might be more [A7]like them [D]while we serve the Master here!

Refrain

[D]Holy,[A7] holy,[Bm] is what[A] the [D]angels sing,
An[G]d I expe[D]ct to help [A]them m[E7]ake t[A]he courts of heaven ring;
Bu[A7]t when I [D]sing redempt[A7]ion’s story, t[D]hey will fold their wings,
Fo[G]r ange[D]ls n[A7]ever fe[D]lt the [A]joys [A7]that o[D]ur salvation brings.

Verse 2

B[D]ut I hear another anthem,[A7] blend[D]ing voices clear and strong,
[D]“Unto Him wh[G]o hath re[D]deemed us a[A7]nd hath bought us,” is the song;
W[A7]e have come thro’[D] tribulatio[A7]ns to thi[D]s land so fair and bright,
I[D]n the fountain freely fl[A7]owing He h[D]ath made our garments white.

Refrain

[D]Holy,[A7] holy,[Bm] is what[A] the [D]angels sing,
An[G]d I expe[D]ct to help [A]them m[E7]ake t[A]he courts of heaven ring;
Bu[A7]t when I [D]sing redempt[A7]ion’s story, t[D]hey will fold their wings,
Fo[G]r ang[D]els n[A7]ever fe[D]lt the [A]joys [A7]that [D]our salvation brings.

Verse 3

T[D]hen the angels stand and list[A7]en, for[D] they cannot join that song,
[D]Like the sound[G] of many w[D]aters, by t[A7]hat happy, blood-washed throng;
F[A7]or they sing abou[D]t great tri[A7]als, battles[D] fought and vict’ries won,
A[D]nd they praised the gr[A7]eat Redeemer,[D] who hath said to them, “Well done.”

Refrain

[D]Holy,[A7] holy,[Bm] is what[A] the [D]angels sing,
An[G]d I expe[D]ct to help [A]them m[E7]ake t[A]he courts of heaven ring;
Bu[A7]t when I [D]sing redempt[A7]ion’s story, t[D]hey will fold their wings,
Fo[G]r ang[D]els n[A7]ever fe[D]lt the [A]joys [A7]that [D]our salvation brings.

Verse 4

S[D]o, although I’m not an a[A7]ngel, y[D]et I know that over there
[D]I will join a b[G]lessed cho[D]rus that [A7]the angels cannot share;
I[A7] will si[D]ng about m[A7]y Savior, w[D]ho upon dark Calvary
[D]Freely pardoned my t[A7]ransgressions[D],died to set the sinner free.

Refrain

[D]Holy,[A7] holy,[Bm] is what[A] the [D]angels sing,
An[G]d I expe[D]ct to help [A]them m[E7]ake t[A]he courts of heaven ring;
Bu[A7]t when I [D]sing redempt[A7]ion’s story, t[D]hey will fold their wings,
Fo[G]r ang[D]els n[A7]ever fe[D]lt the [A]joys [A7]that [D]our salvation brings.
