ANGELS. - ZaunköniG - 20.12.2012
Sweet is the thought that angels are on earth !
Reason and the unerring Word confirm
The truth that they unceasing watch the germ
Of immortality — of untold worth.
How great to imitate their office here !
To raise the drooping head with anguish bow'd
While pointing to Hope's rainbow in the cloud,
Which covenanted mercy bade appear.
Such did each bright intelligence, when
He The " man of sorrows " sank upon the ground,
When tears of blood trace'd in Gethsemane
The record of strict judgment's poignant wound;
And we, tho' trammell'd in these bonds of clay,
Can soothing minister till we are blest as they.
