Representative Text

1 Under the guidance of angels,
I am progressing today;
All of the past with its failures,
Were stepping stones in my way.

Refrain:
Under the guidance of angels,
Victory is sure to come!
Turning t’ward light like the sunflow’r,
Ev’ning will find me at home.

2 Farewell to creeds of the ages
Those musty dogmas I dread;
Hail to the truth on the soul plane,
Let us arise from the dead. [Refrain]

3 Now with this new risen life,
Fill’d and refill’d from above;
All of my innermost being,
Tingles with hope and with love. [Refrain]

4 Death and the grave seem but gateways,
Leading to home ties long gone;
When earth’s last struggle is over,
Angels will carry me home. [Refrain]
