Author: Frederick W. Faber Hymnal: Laudes Domini #579 (1888) Scripture: Luke 15:7 First Line: Hark! hark! my soul! angelic songs are swelling" Refrain First Line: Angels of Jesus, angels of light Lyrics: 1 Hark, hark, my soul! angelic songs are swelling
O'er earth's green fields and ocean's wave-bent shore:
How sweet the truth those blessed strains are telling
Of that new life when sin shall be no more.
Refrain:
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. [Refrain]
3 Far, far away, like bells at evening pealing,
The voice of Jesus sounds o'er land and sea;
And laden souls, by thousands meekly stealing,
Kind Shepherd, turn their weary steps to thee. [Refrain]
4 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. [Refrain] Topics: Angels; Death Languages: English Tune Title: VOX ANGELICA
