HYMN 110. Angels called Morning-stars.


Job 38.7.
When the Morning-stars sang together, &c.
1
HOw glorious are the Morning Stars!
How doth their glory shine!
Angels most glorious Creatures are,
Yea, holy and divine:
2
They sang together at the first
Jehovah's glorious praise,
And we of them also learn must
To sing to God always.;
3
Nay, with united voices sing
In Consort with much joy,
Since Christ has overcome our Foes,
Who would our Souls destroy:

And did they not a second time
Sing unto God on high,
When Jesus Christ our Lord was born?
And yet shall Saints deny
5
This is our work? No, no, it doth
Sharply indeed reprove
Such who would rob the holy God
Of that which he doth love.
6
It is his due, and it belongs
To him as his just Right;
His Praise to celebrate in Songs
Is lovely in his sight.
Psalm 89.
7 Thy Mercies, Lord, then we will sing,
Thy Truth to all proclaim;
The heav'nly Angels sacred Choir
Shall celebrate the same.
8
These never with the Lord dispute,
Nor his Commands contest,
But give attendance at his Throne,
With awful fear possess'd.
