"So whene'er the signal's given us from earth to call away. Borne on angel's wings to heaven,glad the summons to obey. We shall surely reign with Christ in endless day' (J Fawcett)

'There is joy in the presence of the angels in heaven,when a sinner returns to his God.When in humble faith he welcomes the forgiveness freely given through the shedding of the Saviour's precious blood' (L F W Woodford)

'Worship,honour,power and blessing,Thou art worthy to receive. Loudest praises without ceasing,meet is is for us to give. Help ye bright angelic spirits,bring your sweetest,noblest lays. Help to sing our Saviour' merits. Help to chant Emmanuel's praise' (J Bakewell)

'Angel voices ever singing,"Worthy the Lamb!"

 

[CGL1023]

'Angel voices,ever singing round Thy throne of light. Angel harps forever ringing,rest not day and night. Thousands only live to bless Thee and confess Thee LORD of Might' (Mary F Pott)

Is there scripture for "Angel harps forever ringing". I remember getting excited when I read Mary Kathryn Baxter's book on heaven(sometime after 2003). I excitedly brought it to the pastor's attention and, predictably, he informed me that there no scriptural backing for much of what the book said. That is why I ask?

The only direct mention of a heavenly harp that I find is Rev 5:8--And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
It looks like there may be scripture. I'll leave this for others to ponder.

There certainly will be singing. There will be harps there as you say,even if angels aren't playing them! There is so much said in the Bible about angels. It makes a fascinating study.

'Sinners in derision crowned Him,mocking thus the Saviour' claim. Saints and angels crowd around Him,own His title,praise His Name. Crown Him! Crown Him,spread abroad the victor's fame' (Thomas Kelly)

'Ring the bells of heaven! Spread the feast today! Angels swell the glad triumphant strain! Tell the joyful tidings! Bear it far away! For a precious soul is born again' (W O Cushing)

God is watching over us today! He is our loving Heavenly Father and LORD! He can use angels to minister to us!
