NOTES: "Angels Hovering Round" was arranged by Philip Bliss in 1874. It was included in Jackson's Spiritual Folk Songs of Early America and clearly is a traditional folk hymn. The 1857 Harmoniad and Sacred Melodist: Comprising a fine collection of popular Hymns By Asa Fitz lists Husband as the author. Bliss can be listed as an arranger only.
Recent recordings include Garrison Keillor, Jean Redpath & Lisa Neustadt and The Hallowell singers. Jackson points out the song is related to the spiritual "We Will Walk Dose Golden streets."
There are Angels Hovering Round- Arranged Philip Bliss 1874 Lyrics tradtional
1. There are angels hovering round,
There are angels hovering round,
There are angels, angels hovering round.
2. They will carry the tidings home,
They will carry the tidings home,
They will carry, carry the tidings home.
3. To the new Jerusalem,
To the new Jerusalem,
To the new, new Jerusalem.
4. Poor sinners are coming home,
Poor sinners are coming home,
Poor sinners, sinners are coming home.
5. And Jesus bids them home...
6. There's glory all around,
