2 They have a charge to keep us here, And compass us about, And warning give oft-times also When trouble's breaking out.
3 Watch men are useful in the night, They dangers do prevent; So Angels useful are to those Unto whom they are sent.
4 Was not Elisha safe whilst he Was compassed quite round With these blest Chariots and Horsemen Who did his Foes confound?
5 O what are we, most holy God, That thou shouldst take such care Of us who so unworthy be, And sinful Creatures are!
