O Angels Blest, His Praises Sing

I. Williams

Labat

1. O angels blest, His praises sing for evermore;
   My Jesus sweet, my King whom I adore,
   Comes this happy day to be my heart's dear guest;
   His praises tell, His wondrous mercy sing,
   My Jesus dear, whom I adore, my God and King;
   My Jesus dear, whom I adore, my God and King.
   
2. My Savior kind, my Lord and God to thee I call;
   Oh, come from heaven and be my love, my all.
   All unworthy though I be, to thee I cry
   Oh, come and make thy home within my heart,
   Oh, take it for thine own and from me ne'er depart;
   Oh, take it for thine own and from me ne'er depart.
   
3. O God most high, before this miracle of love,
   The angels bend in wondering awe above;
   Ungrateful have I been to thee dear Lord,
   Unworthy now to raise my eyes to thee;
   One word of pardon speak, my spirit healed shall be;
   One word of pardon speak, my spirit healed shall be.
   
4. Sweet Sacrament, I hope, I love, I thee adore;
   O, make me love thee ever more and more;
   Thou art all in all to me, Jesus most dear,
   Naught in this world can e'er attract me more,
   I love thee, dearest King, I love and thee adore;
   I love thee, dearest King, I love and thee adore.
