Lyrics
Angels of Mercy
There’s so much to do
The heavens are gray overhead
Angels of Mercy
They’re calling to you
So, march with your crosses of red
March where the darkness
Shuts out the light
March where there is no dawn
Angels of Mercy
The world’s covered with night
But your mercy goes marching on
Angels of Mercy
Through darkest night
Your mercy goes marching on
