Lyics

High on a hill of dazzling light,

The king of glory spreads his seat,

And troops of angels stretch'd for flight,

Stand waiting round his awful feet.



Here a bright squadron leaves the skies,

And thick around Elisha stands;

Anon a heav'nly soldier flies,

And breaks the chain from Peter's hands.



Thy winged troops, O God of hosts,

Wait on thy wand'ring church below;

Here we are sailing to thy coasts,

Let angels be our convoy too.



Are they not all thy servants, Lord?

At thy command they go and come;

With cheerful haste obey thy word,

And guard thy children to their home.
