THE ANGEL'S SONG, by FRANCES RIDLEY HAVERGAL Poet's Biography First Line: Now let us sing the angel's song Last Line: Glory to god! And peace on earth.' Subject(s): Angels; Heaven; Jesus Christ; Paradise | ||||||||
Now let us sing the Angels' song, That rang so sweet and clear, When heavenly light and music fell On earthly eye and ear, To Him we sing, our Saviour King, Who always deigns to hear: 'Glory to God! and peace on earth.' He came to tell the Father's love, His goodness, truth, and grace; To show the brightness of His smile, The glory of His face; With His own light, so full and bright, The shades of death to chase. 'Glory to God! and peace on earth.' He came to bring the weary ones True peace and perfect rest; To take away the guilt and sin Which darkened and distressed; That great and small might hear His call, And all in Him be blessed. 'Glory to God! and peace on earth.' He came to bring a glorious gift, 'Goodwill to men;'and why? Because He loves us, Jesus came For us to live and die. Then, sweet and long the Angels' Song Again we raise on high: 'Glory to God! and peace on earth.' | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE END OF LIFE by PHILIP JAMES BAILEY SEVEN TWILIGHTS: 6 by CONRAD AIKEN THE BOOK OF THE DEAD MAN (#19): 2.
