EARTHLY ANGELS—

When I'm thinking of my Saviour,
When I'm seeking good behavior,
When I look for earthly angels,
Then I with children mingle.
When that gener'l role is thundered,
If among the saints I'm numbered,
I'm going to search that place of honor
Till I find the children's corner.
Then when I find it—I'm going to tell
Whole lots of angels to ring those bells;
When the bells start ringing, I'll just tell 'em
We children're going to strut all over God's heaven.
