He has given us new birth into a living hope
Through his resurrection from the dead
He has given us a new birth into inheritance
That can never perish, spoil or fade
In this we greatly rejoice even though we suffer
Grief and trials, we have genuine faith
We are filled with joy, we love him, we believe in him
Even though we have not seen his face

Joy inexpressible and glorious
We are receiving the goal of our faith

Chorus
Angels long to look into these things (repeat 3x)
The glory of Jesus

He prophets intently searched, searched with the greatest care
To find the time when Christ would come
It was not revealed to those who were searching then
But now we know the glory of the Son
Concerning this salvation the grace that has come to us
Praise God the mystery's been revealed
We are filled with joy, we love him we believe in him
And angels long to look in these things

Joy inexpressible and glorious
We are receiving the goal of our faith

Chorus
