No. 102. Listen to the Angels.


Where do you think I found my soul,
  Listen to the angels shouting,
I found my soul at hell's dark door,
  Listen to the angels shouting,

Before I lay in hell one day,
  Listen to the angels shouting,
I sing and pray my soul away,
  Listen to the angels shouting.

Run all the way, run all the way,
Run all the way my Lord,
  Listen to the angels shouting.
Blow, Gabriel, blow, Blow Gabriel, blow,
Tell all the joyful news,
  Listen to the angels shouting

I don't know what sinner want to stay here for,
  Listen to the angels shouting.
When he gets home he will sorrow no more,
  Listen to the angels shouting.
    Run all the way, &c.

Brethren will you come to the promised land,
   Listen to the angels shouting.
Come all and sing with the heavenly band,
   Listen to the angels shouting.
     Run all the way, &c.

[**note to MUSICAL proofer, on the next to last line, in "when he gets home", "HE" is on an eighth note, but it should be a sixteenth.]
