Stanza 1
Hark! hark, my soul,
Angelic songs are swelling
O’er earth’s green fields and
ocean’s wave-beat shore:
How sweet the truth those
blessed strains are telling
Of that new life when sin shall be no more.
Refrain
Angels of Jesus, Angels of light,
Singing to welcome the pilgrims of the night.
Stanza 2
Onward we go, for still we hear them singing,
Come, weary souls, for Jesus bids you come;
And, through the dark, its echoes sweetly ringing,
The music of the Gospel leads us home.
Stanza 3
Far, far away, like bells at evening pealing,
The voice of Jesus sounds o’er land and sea,
And laden souls, by thousands meekly stealing,
Kind Shepherd, turn their weary steps to Thee.
Stanza 4
Rest comes at length; though life be long and dreary,
The day must dawn and dark – some night be past;
Faith’s journey ends in welcomes
