[Music]
There are angels hov'ring round,
There are angels hov'ring round,
There are angels, angels hov'ring round.
To carry the tidings home _etc._
To the new Jerusalem _etc._
Poor sinners are coming home.
And Jesus bids them come.
Let him that heareth come.
We're on our journey home.
The song is found also in Mason's _Harp of the South_, p. 272, where
the composer is given as "Husband". The same tune with minor
variations appeared in the 1859 edition of the _Sacred Harp_, p. 425,
where it was attributed to J. L. Pickard. Its two one-line verses are:
I am on my journey home _etc._
To the New Jerusalem _etc._
