I Want To Be An Angel

Song written by:
Original in English: Sidney P. Gill

1
I want to be an angel
And with the angels stand
A crown upon my forehead
A harp within my hand
There right before the Savior
So glorious and so bright
I’d wake the sweetest music
And praise Him with delight

2
I never should be weary
Nor ever shed a tear
Nor ever know a sorrow
Nor ever know a fear
But blessèd pure and holy
To dwell in Jesus’ sight
And with ten thousand thousands
I’d praise Him with delight

3
I know I’m weak and sinful
But Jesus will forgive
For many little children
Have gone to Heav’n to live
Dear Savior when I languish
And lay me down to die
O send a shining angel
To bear me to the sky

4
O there I’ll be an angel
And with the angels stand
A crown upon my forehead
A harp within my hand
And there before my Savior
So glorious and so bright
I’ll join the heav’nly music
And praise Him with delight
