No. 106. Come Down, Angels
Chorus: Come down, angels, trouble the water,
Come down angels, trouble the water,
Come down, angels, trouble the water,
Let God's saints come in,
Oh, Let God's saints come in.
1. I love to shout, I love to sing,
Let God's saints come in,
I love to praise my heav'nly King,
Let God's saints come in.
2. I think I hear the sinner say,
Let God's saints come in,
My saviour taught me how to pray,
Let God's saints come in.
3. I hope to meet my brother there,
Let God's saints come in,
That us'd to join with me in pray'r,
Let God's saints come in.
4. Didn't Jesus tell you once before,
Let God's saints come in,
To go in peace and sin no more,
Let God's saints come in.
