CALLING ALL YOU ANGELS

 

Calling all you Angels

Amidst the heavenly host

Come in the name of God,

Father, Son and Holy Ghost

Answer the clarion call

Of the sombre Last Post

And take the fallen hero

Amidst the heavenly host

ALL ACROSS THE GLOBE

 

All across the globe

They are seen together

On every continent

And in every weather

The Christian cross

And the pagan tree

To celebrate the birth

Of Christianity

THEY FOLLOW THEIR HEARTS

 

They follow their hearts

A congregation of one accord

Singing the heartfelt lyrics

To make sweet music to the lord

A NEW DAY DAWNING

 

On the distant horizon

The embers of the dawn

Brightly glow

As God blows gentle breath

Upon the glowing coals

And lights up another day

IN THE GATHERING OF HOPEFUL HEARTS

In the gathering of hopeful hearts

The flame of peace does thrive

A flame whose embers glowed

When my granddad was still alive

The lads and pals in distant lands

To a man did purposely strive

They kept that tiny ember tended

To ensure that it would survive

And many a lad remained forever

To keep the flame of peace alive 

CROSS OF THE LIVING GOD # 3

 

Cross of the living God

Shine light into the darkness

To every corner of the globe

Embellishing the starkness

 

Cross of the living God

Keep us safely in your light

Protect us every waking hour

And watch us through the night

PRAYERS WERE SUNG

Prayers were sung

To the Heavens high

Then the angel told

The messiah was nigh

And a light of peace

Entered men’s hearts

Love filled the world

To herald a new start
