A Season for Angels

Come the season that is Christmas
And speak of the angels sent to earth
They came to announce and witness
All the events of our Savior's birth

Come the season that is Easter
And speak of the angels sent to earth
They came to announce and witness
All the events of our Lord's rebirth

They announce each dispensation
And, send miracles with frequency
Now as angels we must station-
It's time to serve with more fervency

I'll be an angel of mercy
With the strength as one who's been reborn
I will tend to those most in need
And, mourn with those who grieve and mourn

Heav'nly Father's work rolls forward
We're privileged to be His miracles
As we teach whom to lean toward
God qualifies those whom He calls

Each must rise to the occasion
With much thought to those in need of aid
There's a plea for God's compassion
As now nears the Great and Dreadful Day
