The Song of Angels
It's night's first dawn and so God commanded
The music monosyllabic and the words so candid
'We beseech thee, O LORD, pour Thy grace into our hearts'
Teach us your ways 'til our soul departs
I can hear Thy cries from the holy tower bell
For a life without God is a life set for hell
With proclamations of 'Hail Mary' and unwavering devotion
Promulgating this most holy notion
For our trials of yesterday, we'll remember them today
This is our hour, so let us pray.
Thy gospel renounced by your son, the priest
The sound alone, unites us towards Thy speech
But I must go now, for the seasons are falling
The times have changed, and the Angelus is calling.
To purge all my heresies of thought, speech and pen
Through the same Christ our Lord. I'll call out, Amen
