Analysis of Angels Surround
Angel's surround us with gossamer wing
They judge us not, but keep us nigh, in everything
Wistful voices, times unknown, they speak to us in every home
Guided by Love, not by whimsy, carefully we walk by Light of Throne.
He's given charge to them, watch over us
Stay and abide and talk to us
Softly they speak and dare to warn
They watch by night and early morn.
Throughout the day their wings do cover
Not just we, but too, our brother
To them that love Him, at every corner,
Stands an angel of the Highest Order. Gordon Cornell ©2003
