Come swiftly on the wing:
And rest beside the weary road
CAnd hear the Dangels Em7sing.
Hear the angels sing 4x
For lo, the days are hastening on,
By prophets seen of old
When with the ever circling years
Shall come the time foretold
When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendors fling,
And the whole world send back the song
Which now the angels sing.
Hear the angels sing 4x
