Angels Waiting At The Door
Language: English 
My sister's took her flight and gone home,
And the angels waiting at the door.
My sister's took her flight and gone home,
And the angels waiting at the door.

CHORUS: [Solo] Tell all my Father's children,
[Group] Don't you grieve for me.
[Solo] Tell all my Father's children,
[Group] Don't you grieve for me.

She has laid down her cross and gone home,
And the angels waiting at the door.
She has laid down her cross and gone home,
And the angels waiting at the door.

She has taken up her crown and gone home,
And the angels waiting at the door.
She has taken up her crown and gone home,
And the angels waiting at the door.
