Author: Rev. Matthias Loy, D. D. Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #123 (1908) Lyrics: 1 Though angels bright escape our sight,
Unheard their songs are sung,
They hover 'round us day and night,
These earthly mists among.
2 Amid the snares, amid the cares
That danger brings each day,
Our Lord an angel band prepares
To guide us on our way.
3 With malice fell the prince of hell
Would fain the Church o'erthrow,
But holy angels guard it well,
And put to shame the foe.
4 This mercy shown, O Lord, we own:
To Thee our thanks we bring;
And with the angels 'round Thy throne
Would endless praises sing. Topics: The Church Year Michaelmas Languages: English Tune Title: MARLOW
