Brother, will you slight the message
Sent in mercy from above?
Every sentence, O how tender,
Every line how full of love!
heavenly accents
Full of strength and peace and love!
Tempted souls, they bring you succour;
Fearless hearts, thy quell your fears;
And with deepest consolation
Chase away the falling tears;
Tender heralds,
Blessed be their word who hears!
Holy angels, hovering round us!
Waiting spirits! Speed your way,
Hasten to the court of heaven,
Tidings bear without delay,
That our spirits
Glad the message will obey.
