Angels

Bright beings from the realm of light,

Messengers from the Lord of Might!

Silent as dew and swift as sound,

Your presence shines where God is found.

When Jacob lay in deep despair,

Angelic waves in vision fair,

Disclosed at Bethel, Heaven’s gate,

And broke his chain of evil fate.

Angel and maid in stillness met,

And Mary’s ‘Yes’, lest we forget,

Sprang from a Spirit touched by grace,

Through Gabriel’s word and golden face.

Unseen as air, in fiery power,

Angelic hordes made demons cower,

And won with Christ in holy fight

Salvation’s gift from human plight.

The sun’s bright beams bring light to earth,

And angels bless our pain and mirth,

May angel hosts transport us high

To God in Heaven when we die.
