¶Lyrics / Text

With glorious wings of golden light The angels cleave the sky, In jewell’d robes as rich and bright I bend to teach from high: They to and fro unwearied flit In quests that never cease, I on the storm-clouds love to sit And talk to men of Peace. And now I come, and now I go When skies are dark and drear, Where winds are high, and clouds arc low, And men want words of cheer: While sorrow lives, my promise gives The hope that it shall die; When sorrow dies, then I arise, And melt into the sky.
