The Angels' Moment in the Sun (1:5-14)

Heav'nly beings, angels are gleaming glory Stories are told of golden deeds they've done But to which of the angels did he ever call a son? Christ ranks higher Winds, flames of fire, choirs singing And bringing praise, they serve the Son. You can add 'em all together He is better than the sum Jesus Christ is better than the angels He is better than best of the heavenly hosts At the most they are lesser than the greater He is better than the angels, and it's not even close Ever living, ever existing, King of history The Maker and the Final Word Step aside all you angels, let your anthems be heard Jesus Christ is better than the angels He is better than best of the heavenly hosts At the most they are lesser than the greater He is better than the angels, and it's not even close Angels, they may be on high Sweetly singing o'er the plains But the songs they sing are songs of Christ Praising Him who reigns supreme Gloria In excelsis Deo Gloria In excelsis Deo Jesus Christ is better than the angels He is better than best of the heavenly hosts At the most they are lesser than the greater He is better than the angels He is better than the angels Jesus Christ is better than the angels Over heaven compare them, you'll see what I mean Not the least but so much lesser than the Saviour For to which of the angels did the Lord ever say Sit at my right hand the best seat Till I place your foes beneath your feet He is better than the heavenly hosts And it's not even close
