THE HEAVENLY SONG, by                    
First Line: All hail to thee! All hail to thee!
Last Line: And cast our crowns before thee!


ALL hail to thee! All hail to thee!
Thou Lamb enthroned in glory;
We'll praise thee through eternity,
And cast our crowns before thee.

No more the helpless babe who slept
In Bethlehem's lowly manger,
Nor Man of sorrows, he who wept,
On earth a lonely stranger.

No thorny crown is round thy brow,
No more in anguish bleeding,
Angelic hosts before thee bow,
But not for mercy pleading.

Thy blood-bought flock all safely rest
Within thy fold in heaven;
Their happy souls for ever blest,
Their many sins forgiven.

All hail to thee! All hail to thee!
Thou Lamb enthroned in glory,
We'll praise thee through eternity,
And cast our crowns before thee!
