Angel Voices

There are voic­es

an­gel voic­es

And they came at God’s be­hest

From the ver­nal hills eter­nal

In the para­dise of rest.

Angel voic­es

ho­ly voic­es

How they car­ol soft and low

Of a gar­den

fair and love­ly

Where the rose and li­ly grow.

There are voic­es

an­gel voic­es

And a mes­sage oft they bring

From the part­ed ones that wait us

In the pal­ace of the King.

There are voic­es

an­gel voic­es

We have heard them in a dream

Like the ec­ho of a harp string

Or the mur­mur of a stream.

There are voic­es

an­gel voic­es

That will call us by and by

And unit­ed we shall ga­ther

In our Fa­ther’s house on high.
