Author: Mary L. Bingham Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8918 Meter: 8.6.8.6.6 First Line: If we could know in times of grief Lyrics: 1 If we could know in times of grief,
How near God’s angels come,
Our hearts would greet, with sweet relief,
These messengers from home,
These messengers from home.
2 O’er all our ways His charge they keep,
Nor minister in vain;
And if we wake, or if we sleep,
Swift flies the heav’nly train,
Swift flies the heav’nly train.
3 With silent tread they camp around
To guard his children dear,
Nor e’en a stone upon the ground
To harm them shall appear,
To harm them shall appear. Languages: English Tune Title: EXTREMADURA
