"Angel of the Lord said, go and speak 
the words of this life" - Acts 5:22



1.  HARK, hark, my soul, angelic songs 

     are swelling

     O‘er earth green field and ocean’s 

     wave-beat shore

     How sweet the truth those blessed

     strains are telling 

    Of that new life when sin shall be no more! 

Chorus: Angels of Jesus, angels of light 

             Singing to welcome the pilgrims 

             of the night!


2.  Onward we go, for still we hear them singing 

     Come, weary souls, for Jesus bids you come! 

     And through the dark its echoes

     sweetly ringing

     The music of the gospel leads us home.

Chorus: Angels of Jesus...


3.  Far, far away, like bells at evening pearling 

     The voice of Jesus sounds o’er land and sea

     And laden souls, by thousand meekly stealing

     Kind Shepherd, turn their weary steps to Thee.

Chorus: Angels of Jesus...


4.  Rest comes at length, though life be long and 

     dreary

     The day must dawn and darksome

     night be past

     Faith‘s journey claim in welcome to

     the weary

     And heav’n, the heart's true home 

     will come at last.

Chorus: Angels of Jesus...


5.  Angels, sing on, your faithful watches 

     keeping

     Sing us sweet fragments of the songs 

     above,

     Till morning’s joy shall end the night

     of weeping

     And life‘s long shadows break in 

     cloudless love.

Chorus: Angels of Jesus, angels of light 

             Singing to welcome the pilgrims 

             of the night!  Amen
