Gabriel

Do Angels tread on the souls of man? Guardian to every soul that is conceived Enlighten knowledge of Heaven in us he weaves But at our birth he clips our upper lip And Heaven's knowledge we all forget Until our days on earth are done He gathers our Spirits and Heaven's ways are reopened. Prince of First Heaven, God's Chief Minister seated at His Left Hand Thunder and Majesty, Beauty and Grace, Cherubim at his command Great annunciator to Blessed Virgin he revealed The sacred Birth of her Son our Savior into this world Guardian of the Garden of Eden, Daniel's dream he reveals Buried the Law Giver Moses, Assyrian army he kills Sodom and Gomorrah he burned to the earth Yet sings songs of praise at the Saviors Birth Did he not dictate to Muhammad the Qur'an? Did he not carry him into Heaven so grand? Angel of mercy of vengeance and annunciation Angel of death of resurrection and revelation Archangel of the Lord to Truth he does speak For on Judgement Day all strong and weak Gabriel shall sound the mighty Trumpet Blow All of creation God's Judgement shall know. God is my strength Gabriel means High Prince of Heaven to our King His symbol is of the lily white In radiance his glory bright. Do angels tread on the souls of men? But with prayer they are called to our command Human beings are created in the image of the Supreme And only through Salvation can we become eternal beings Even angels perish if they lose God's favor Only Humans by Free Will have the Savior. Gabriel do you delay our Judgement Day To prolong your place in Heaven stay For once that mighty Trumpet Blow begins Does the life of Gabriel come to an end?
