Author: Robert Campbell Appears in 26 hymnals Lyrics: 1 They come, God’s messengers of love,
They come from realms of peace above,
From homes of never-fading light,
From blissful mansions ever bright.
2 They come to watch around us here,
To soothe our sorrow, calm our fear:
And whisper to the willing heart,
"O Christian soul, in peace depart."
3 Blest Jesus, Thou whose groans and tears
Have sanctified frail nature’s fears,
To earth in bitter sorrow weighed,
Thou didst not scorn Thine angel’s aid.
4 An angel guard to us supply,
When on the bed of death we lie;
And by Thine own almighty power,
Oh, shield us in the last dread hour.
Amen. Topics: Death Confidence in; Death of Christians; Funerals Used With Tune: ERNAN
