ANGELS STAND
ANGELS STAND 'ROUND THIS LAND,
ANGELS STAND 'ROUND YOU.
ANGELS GIVE A HELPING HAND,
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE BLUE.
ANGELS STAND 'ROUND ABOUT
EACH CHILD WHEN THEY ARE BORN.
ANGELS STAND WHERE DEMONS FEAR
AND RUN FROM AN ANGEL MORN.
ANGELS STAND EACH MORNING BRIGHT
AROUND THE CHILDREN OF THE KING,
ANGELS STAND, SO FILLED WITH MIGHT,
AND PEACE THEY ALWAYS BRING.
ANGELS STAND 'ROUND MY LIFE,
ALL THE DAY AND NIGHT.
FOR IF THEY DIDN'T STAND ROUND ME,
I'D BE GONE, OR ALWAYS IN STRIFE.
ANGELS STAND 'ROUND THE KING,
THE MIGHTY KING OF KINGS.
ANGELS STAND 'ROUND HIS THRONE,
AND ALWAYS DO HIS BIDDING.
ANGELS STAND 'ROUND MY HEART,
FOR IF THEY EVER LEFT,
I WOULD BE SO VERY ALONE,
ALONE, AND SO BEREFT.
