Subject(s): Angels; Bethlehem, Palestine; Heaven; Messages & Messengers; Wings; Paradise


Through the sky are Angels winging,
While we have not faith to see,
From God's Heaven to earth descending—
Messengers to you and me.
And in flight unseen ascending,
Still our messengers of love,
While God's Spirit oft is resting
On our altars like a dove.

If from eyes that now are holden
Faith should lift the scales away,
We would see them coming, going,
With the light of Heaven's Day.
We would see our loved ones waiting
Just across the glassy sea;
Joy would reign in hearts forever
Blending with Eternity.

Hark to Angel voices singing
Wafted from the sky above
As they pass upon their missions—
Heaven's messengers of love.
Once they sang in old Judea,
In the sky o'er Bethlehem—
To God Glory in the highest
And on earth Good Will toward men.

While we serve as faithful stewards,
Filled and trimmed our lamps should burn,
Ready when shall come His Angels
Heralding our Lord's return.
Saints and loved ones will be with Him
On the clouds that float in air;
Eyes no longer will be holden
When revealed in Glory there.
