(Soprano, ostinato) Heaven is here and the angels of Heaven.
(Choir) It is given to them to guard, guide, warn and conduct us on earth. Many winged, many eyed, mighty in love, They stand watch at our birth, stand watch at our death, Bringing us along the road, bringing us peace, bringing us brotherhood.
Ear may not hear - eye may not see. But About us, around us, In town and in temple, At our work, at our play, As a cloud, as a light, In the night, in the day, The angels assemble, Praying, fighting, singing, rejoicing For you, for me, for all the children of God. (For all.)
