I want to be an angel

Appears in 98 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I want to be an angel, And with the angels stand, A crown upon my forehead, A harp within my hand: There, right before my Saviour, So glorious and so bright, I'd wake the sweetest music, And praise him day and night. 2 I never would be weary, Nor ever shed a tear, Nor ever know a sorrow, Nor ever feel a fear; But, blessed, pure and holy, I'd dwell in Jesus' sight, And with ten thousand thousands Praise him both day and night. 3 I know I'm weak and sinful, But Jesus will forgive; For many little children Have gone to heaven to live. Dear Saviour, when I languish, And lay me down to die, Oh, send a shining angel To bear me to the sky. 4 Oh, there I'll be an angel, And with the angels stand, A crown upon my forehead, A harp within my hand. And there, before my Saviour, So glorious and so bright, I'll join the heavenly music, And praise him day and night. Used With Tune: I WANT TO BE AN ANGEL

I want to be an angel

Hymnal: The Little Minstrel #61 (1867) Lyrics: 1 I want to be an angel, And with the angels stand, A crown upon my forehead, A harp within my hand; There right before my Savior, So glorious and so bright, I'd wake the sweetest music, And praise him day and night. 2 I never would be weary, Nor ever shed a tear, Nor ever know a sorrow, Nor ever feel a fear; But blessed, pure, and holy, I'd dwell in Jesus' sight, And with ten thousand thousands Praise him both day and night. 3 I know I'm weak and sinful, But Jesus will forgive, For many little children Have gone to heaven to live; Dear Savior, when I languish, And lay me down to die, O! send a shining angel, And bear me to the skies. 4 O, there I'll be an angel, And with the angels stand, A crown upon my forehead, A harp within my hand; And there, before my Savior, So glorious and so bright, I'll join the heavenly music, And praise him day and night.
