What Is the Angel Recording?

What is the an­gel re­cord­ing to­night

Hard by the throne in the realms of light?

Is it a word that was spok­en in love

Telling of rest above?

Oh

can it be that the hap­py and blest

See all we do from their home of rest?

Yes

whe­ther sin­ning or do­ing the right

All is re­cord­ed to­night.

Fighting or faint­ing

Striving or yield­ing

Loving the wrong or the right;

Whate’er our think­ing or do­ing may be

All is re­cord­ed to­night.

What is the an­gel re­cord­ing to­night?

All of the mer­cies that scorn­ers slight;

Tares that the care­less con­tin­ue to sow

Telling of pain and woe;

Nothing of word or of deed is con­cealed

Wishes and thoughts are alike re­vealed;

Naught of to­day can we hide from His sight

All is re­cord­ed to­night.

What is the an­gel re­cord­ing to­night?

Prayers of the faith­ful who love the right;

Songs that are sung of the man­sions ab­ove

Telling of Je­sus’ love.

All who are pa­tient­ly toil­ing to­day

Turning a soul from the down­ward way;

Lose no re­ward

for the Sav­ior of might

Has it re­cord­ed to­night.
