Words

There are angels hov'ring round,
There are angels hov'ring round,
There are angels, angels hov'ring round.

To carry tidings home,
To the New Jerusalem:
Poor sinners are coming home,
And Jesus bids them come;
Let him that heareth come,
Let him that thirsteth come.

We are on our journey home,
Where Christ our Lord has gone;
We will meet around his throne,
When he makes his people one,
We shall reign forevermore
In the New Jerusalem.

About this hymn

As printed As printed: the text under the music (stanza 1 below) is one line repeated three times over the eight measures — twice complete in the first system and a third time, slightly varied, in the second. The two blocks of six lines printed below the music (stanzas 2 and 3 below) carry no numbers in the hymnal; the numbering here is editorial and marks only the printed blocks. Nothing tells the singer how the later lines are fitted to the tune — see `uncertainties.md`.
