They heed your voice; they know it well; In godly wisdom they excel. 3 They never rest nor sleep as we; Their whole delight is but to be With you, Lord Jesus, and to keep Your little flock, your lambs and sheep. 4 The ancient dragon is their foe; His envy and his wrath they know. So now he subtly lies in wait To ruin school and church and state. 5 But watchful is the angel band That follows Christ on ev'ry hand To guard his people where they go And break the counsel of the foe. 6 O Lord, awaken songs of praise For angel hosts that guard our days; Teach us to serve you and adore As angels do forevermore.
