The Ministry of Angels
Hymnal: The Book of Worship #142 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Angelic Ministry First Line: Great God! what hosts of angels stand Lyrics: 1 Great God! what hosts of angels stand
In shining ranks at Thy right hand,
Arrayed in robes of dazzling light,
With pinions stretched for distant flight!
2 Immortal fires! seraphic flames!
Who can recount their various names?
In strength and beauty they excel;
For near the throne of God they dwell.
3 How eagerly they wish to know
The duties he would have them do!
What joy their active spirits feel,
To execute their Sovereign's will!
4 Hither, at His command, they fly
To guard the beds on which we lie,
To shield our persons night and day,
And scatter all our fears away.
5 Send, O my God, some angel down,
(Though to a mortal eye unknown,)
To guide and guard my doubtful way
Up to the realms of endless day. Languages: English
The Ministry of Angels
God shall charge His angel legions
Hymnal: The Book of Worship #143 (1867) Topics: Angelic Ministry Lyrics: 1 God shall charge His angel legions
Watch and ward o’er thee to keep:
Though thou walk thro’ hostile regions,
Though in desert wilds thou sleep.
2 On the lion vainly roaring,
On his young, thy foot shall tread;
And the dragon’s den exploring,
Thou shalt bruise the serpent’s head.
3 Since, with pure and firm affection,
Thou on God has set thy love,
With the wings of His protection
He will shield thee from above:
4 Thou shalt call on Him in trouble,
He will hearken, He will save;
Here for grief reward thee double,
Crown with life beyond the grave. Scripture: Psalm 91 Languages: English
God shall charge His angel legions
Angels, where'er we go, attend
Hymnal: The Book of Worship #146 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Angelic Ministry Lyrics: 1 Angels, where'er we go, attend
Our steps, what'er betide,
With watchful care their charge defend,
And evil turn aside.
2 Myriads of bright cherubic bands,
Sent by the King of kings,
Rejoice to bear us in their hands,
And shade us with their wings.
3 Jehovah's charioteers surround;
The ministerial choir
Encamp where'er his heirs are found,
And form our wall of fire.
4 Ten thousand offices unseen
For us they gladly do,
Deliver in the furnace keen,
And safe escort us through.
5 But thronging round, with busiest love
They guard the dying breast,
The lurking fiend far off remove,
And sing our souls to rest.
6 And when our spirits we reign,
On outstretched wings they bear,
And lodge us in the arms of divine,
And leave us ever there. Languages: English
Angels, where'er we go, attend
See the kind angels at the gates
Hymnal: The New Hymn Book, Designed for Universalist Societies #265 (1833) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Angelic Invitation
See the kind angels at the gates
Messenger of the covenant
Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CLXXXIV (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christ Angel of the covenant First Line: Jesus, commission'd from above Lyrics: 1 Jesus, commission'd from above,
Descends to men below,
And shews from whence the springs of love,
In endless currents flow.
2 He, whom the boundless heaven adores,
Whom angels long to see;
Quitted with joy those blissful shores,
Ambassador to me!
3 To me a worm, a sinful clod,
A rebel all forlorn;
A foe, a traitor to my God,
And, of a traitor born;
4 To me, who never sought his grace,
Who mock'd his sacred word;
Who never knew, or lov'd his face,
And all his will abhor'd!
5 To me, who could not even praise,
When his kind heart I knew;
But sought a thousand devious ways,
Rather than keep the true.
6 Yet this redeeming angel came,
So vile a worm to bless;
He took, with gladness, all my blame,
And gave his righteousness.
7 O! that my languid heart might glow,
With ardour all divine;
And for more love than seraphs knew,
Like burning seraphs shine. Scripture: Malachi 3:1 Languages: English
Messenger of the covenant
On Judah's plains as shepherds sat
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #103 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Angel's message to the shepherds at Christ's nativity Lyrics: 1 On Judah’s plains as shepherds sat,
Watching their flocks by night,
The angel of the Lord appear'd,
Clad in celestial light.
2 Awe-struck the vision they regard,
Appall'd with trembling fear;
When thus a cherub-voice divine
Breath'd sweetly on their ear.
3 “Shepherds of Judah! cease your fears,
And calm your troubled mind;
Glad tidings of great joy I bring
To you and all mankind.
4 This day almighty love fulfils
Its great eternal word;
This day is born in Bethlehem
A Saviour, Christ the Lord.
5 There shall you find the heav'nly babe
In humblest weeds array'd;
All meanly wrapp'd in swaddling clothes,
And in a manger laid."
6 He ceas'd, and sudden all around
Appear'd a radiant throng
Of angels, praising God, and thus
Warbling their choral song:
7 "Glory to God, from whom on high
All-gracious mercies flow!
Who sends his heav’n-descended peace
To dwell with man below."
On Judah's plains as shepherds sat
While shepherds watched their flocks by night
Author: Tate Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #163 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Angelic Announcement Lyrics: 1 While shepherds watched their flocks by night,
All seated on the ground,
The angel of the Lord came down,
And glory shone around.
2 Fear not, said he,--for mighty dread
Had seized their troubled mind;--
Glad tidings of great joy I bring
To you and all mankind.
3 To you, in David's town, this day
Is born of David's line,
The Saviour, who is Christ the Lord;
And this shall be the sign:--
4 The heavenly babe you there shall find,
To human view displayed,
All meanly wrapped in swathing-bands,
And in a manger laid.
5 Thus spake the seraph, and forthwith
Appeared a shining throng
Of angels, praising God, who thus
Addressed their joyful song:--
6 All glory be to God on high,
And to the earth be peace;
Good-will henceforth from heaven to men
Begin and never cease!
Scripture: Isaiah 9:6-7
While shepherds watched their flocks by night
Beyond the glittering, starry skies
Hymnal: The Book of Worship #144 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Angelic Ministry Lyrics: 1 Beyond the glittering, starry skies,
Far as th' eternal hills,
There, in the boundless worlds of light,
Our dear Redeemer dwells.
2 Legions of angels round His throne
In countless armies shine,
And swell His praise with golden harps,
Attuned to songs divine.
3 "Hail, glorious Prince of peace!" they cry,
"Whose unexampled love
Moved Thee to quit these glorious realms,
And royalties above."
4 Through all His travels here below
They did His steps attend,
Oft wondering how, or where, at last,
The mystic scene would end.
5 They saw His heart transfixed with wounds,
And viewed the crimson gore;
They saw Him break the bars of death,
Which none e'er broke before.
6 They brought His chariot from above,
To bear Him to His throne;
Clapped their triumphant wings, and cried,
"The glorious work is done!" Languages: English
Beyond the glittering, starry skies
How cheering the thought that the spirits in bliss
Hymnal: The Book of Worship #145 (1867) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Topics: Angelic Ministry Lyrics: 1 How cheering the thought that the spirits in bliss
Should bow their bright wings to a world such as this,
And leave the sweet songs of the mansions above,
To breathe o'er our bosom some message of love!
2 They come--on the wings of the morning they come,
To convoy the stranger in peace to his home;
The pilgrim to waft from this stormy abode,
And lay him to rest in the arms of his God.
3 They come when we wander, they come when we pray,
In mercy to guard us wherever we stray:
A glorious cloud their bright witness is given;
Encircling us here these angels of heaven. Languages: English
How cheering the thought that the spirits in bliss
