PPP PIP IPL AP EPAPER EAR AAA EAR AAR AAR AL SAAR AAR

Their instrumental aid unknown,
They day and night supply;
And free from fear, we lay us down,
Though Satan's host be nigh.
Our lives the holy angels keep
From every hostile power;
And unconcern'd we sweetly sleep,
As Adam in his bower.

Jehovah's charioteers surround
The ministerial choir;
Encamp where'er His heirs are found,
And form our wall of fire.
Ten thousand offices unseen
For us they gladly do,
Deliver in the lions' den,
And safe escort us through.

But thronging round, with busiest love,
They guard the dying breast;
The lurking fiend far off remove,
And sing our souls to rest:
And when our spirits we resign,
On outstretch'd wings they bear,
And lodge us in the arms Divine,
And leave for ever there.
