In time of temp­ta­tion, I hear a sweet voice,
So ten­der­ly whis­per to me,
Be strong in the Lord, sweet­ly rest on His Word,
The an­gels have charge ov­er thee.

Refrain

The an­gels have charge ov­er thee,
To keep thee in all thy ways;
This bless­èd as­sur­ance brings peace to my soul,
My heart is o’er­flow­ing with praise.

When tri­als arise, and when dan­ger is near,
A light in the dark­ness I see;
This pro­mise so blest bring­eth comfort and rest,
The an­gels have charge ov­er thee.

Refrain

Then rest, sweet­ly rest, on the pro­mise of God,
From sin and its pow­er be free;
O be of good cheer, there is no­thing to fear,
The an­gels have charge ov­er thee.

Refrain
