2Blest angels, while we silent lie,

You hallelujahs sing on high;

You joyful hymn the Ever-blest,

Before the throne, and never rest.

3I with your choir celestial join,

In offering up a hymn divine;

With you in heaven I hope to dwell,

And bid the night and world farewell.

4Blest Jesus, thou, on heaven intent,

Whole nights hast in devotion spent;
