The Lord and His Angels

Before He was born in this earth,
Angel announced Christ Jesus' birth;

When He was born, a tiny boy,
Angels declared it - Oh! What joy!

He grew up, not with much élan,
But in favour with God and man;

After fasting, came temptation,
Then came angels' ministration;

Three and a half years of preaching,
With His Love to people reaching;

Then He went to Gethsamane,
Praying there in deep agony,

An angel came down from heaven,
Just, in order, Him to strengthen;

He hung on the cross sinister,
No angels came to minister;

An eternity of silence
Followed His affliction intense;

On the third day morning, they came,
Christ's resurrection to proclaim;

On the mount after forty days,
He ascended 'midst angels' praise;

Right from birth till His ascension,
In Christ's life, they had a mention.

Ev'n today, angels are singing,
With His praise, heavens are ringing 

He sends them down to protect us,
When we choose to serve Lord Jesus.
