Hymnal: Voices of Praise #229 (1883) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Around the Throne of God a band
Of glorious angels ever stand;
Bright things they see, sweet harps they hold,
And on their heads are crowns of gold.
2 Some wait around Him, ready still
To sing His praise and do His will;
And some, when He commands them, go
To guard His servants here below.
3 Lord give Thy Angels every day
Command to guide us on our way,
And bid them every evening keep
Their watch around us while we sleep.
4 So shall no wicked thing draw near,
To do us harm or cause us fear;
And we shall dwell, when life is past,
With Angels round Thy Throne at last.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: GUARDIAN ANGELS
