"The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear
Him, and delivereth them."—Psa. 34:7.
"He shall give His angels charge over thee to keep thee in all thy
ways."—Psa. 91:11.
"Are they not all ministerring spirits sent forth to minister unto
them that shall be heirs of salvation?"—Heb. 1:14.
OFTEN when thou'rt faint and weary in the struggle and
the strife,
And thy heart nigh sinks within thee, 'neath the strain
and stress of life:
When thou'rt tempted, tried and fearful, and thou
canst not see the way,
And each night looms black with shadows from thy
sorrows in the day;
I would ask thee still to trust Him, He who sees all
in the light,
For He guards thee by His angels, though they're
veiled from thy sight—
Yea, He guards thee by His angels, though they're
veiled from thy sight.
Oh, be watchful, oh, be sober, for the Adversary
tries
To allure us to destruction by his subtly fashioned
lies.
He would sift us, he would tempt us, he would claim
us for his prey,
And his legions ever watch us as we tread the Nar-
row Way:
But we know of his devices, and we trust Jehovah's
might,
For He guards us by His angels, though they're veiled
from our sight—
Yea, He guards us by His angels, though they're
veiled from our sight.
There is One who knows thy weakness, and thy
failings, and thy tears,
Thy burdens and thy sorrows, and thy tremblings and
thy fears;
And thy heart-cries always reach Him, and are
answered in His way,
Though thou canst not see His workings as they shape
thy path each day.
Sad disaster had o'erwhelmed thee, had He not put
forth His might,
Through His angels that surround thee, but are veiled
from thy sight—
Guardian angels that surround thee, but are veiled
from thy sight.
Ah, believe me, when the Day breaks, and we know
as we are known,
In the sunlight of the glory that surrounds our Father's
Throne,
He will tell us how He led us: we shall see the path-
way clear,
The way we trod that led to God through failing,
fault and fear.
And we'll see those guardian angels who were veiled
from our sight,
We shall understand the workings of the Power put
forth in might:
Yea, and with those guardian angels who were veiled
from our sight,
We shall see our Savior, and our God, in Heaven's
Eternal Light.
