| For angel true thou art | B |
| In noble deeds and sterling worth | A |
| And sympathetic heart | B |
| I therefore seek none from afar | C |
| For what they might have been | D |
| But sing the praise of those which are | C |
| That dwell on earth with men | E |
| - | |
| For when man was a tottling wee | F |
| Snug nestling on thy breast | G |
| Or sporting gay upon thy knee | F |
| Oh thou who lovest him best | G |
| An overflowing stream of love | H |
| Sprung at his very birth | A |
| And made thee gentle as a dove | H |
| Fair angel of this earth | A |
| - | |
| Thou cheerest ever blithesome youth | I |
| With songs and fervent prayers | J |
| And fillest heart with love and truth | I |
| A store for future cares | J |
| Thou lead'st him safely in his prime | K |
| True guide of every stage | L |
| And then at last as fades the time | K |
| Thou comfortest his age | L |
| - | |
| Like as the sunshine after rain | M |
| Far chasing 'way the mist | N |
| Thou soothest human grief and pain | M |
| Fleet messenger of bliss | O |
| In battles where the sword and shield | P |
| Full lay the mighty low | Q |
| Thou hov'rest ever o'er the field | P |
| To ease life's ebb and flow | Q |
| - | |
| Thou standest ever standest near | R |
| Before man's waning eyes | S |
| An angel true to him more dear | R |
| Than all beyond the skies | S |
| No fabled sprites of chants and creeds | T |
| Nor myths of bygone years | U |
| For thou suppliest all his needs | T |
| And wip'st his briny tears | J |
| - | |
| So if he quail in desert waste | V |
| Or toss life's stormy sea | F |
| He turns his tear stained eye in haste | V |
| For one fond glimpse of thee | F |
| He longs to hide beneath thy wing | W |
| And nestle on thy breast | G |
| He lists to hear thee softly sing | W |
| Him into peaceful rest | G |
| - | |
| Oh sing aloud Mt Zion's songs | X |
| To cheer each languid heart | B |
| For now some feeble spirit longs | X |
| Thy blessings to impart | B |
| And thus thou keepest the Master's will | Y |
| And showest all thy worth | A |
| Through loving kindness thou art still | Y |
| The angel of this earth | A |
