33. Angels at the Door

1 There are times when life seems dreary,
When the road seems rough and long;
When the form is weak and weary,
With the surging human throng;
But 'tis then the angel voices,
To my weary soul gives peace,
And the world with us rejoices
At the promise of release.

Refrain:
Yes, the loved ones gone before,
Are the angels at the door;
"Ev'ry man must earn his heaven,"
Quoth the spirits evermore.

2 In the springtime with the wooing,
And the fragrance in the air;
With the bud and bloom renewing,
And all nature bright and fair,
With the gentle zephyrs sighing,
To the sun their winsome plea;
We can sense the loved ones trying,
From all gloom to set us free. [Refrain]

3 We can sense them in the morning,
Giving counsel for the day,
In the silence giving warning,
Of the pitfalls in the way;
In the evening we oft' hear them,
Laughing, talking, singing too,
And it ever helps endear them,
To the hearts remaining true. [Refrain]
