The Angel of Death
In the great book of John, you're warned of the day
When you'll be laid beneath the cold clay
The Angel of Death will come from the sky
And claim up your soul when the time comes to die
When the Angel of Death comes down after you
Can you smile and say that you have been true
Can you truthfully say with your dying breath
That you're ready to meet the Angel of Death
When the lights all grow dim and the dark shadows creep
And then your lived ones are gathered to weep
Can you face them and say with your dying breath
That you're ready to meet the Angel of Death
When the Angel of Death comes down after you
Can you smile and say that you have been true
Can you truthfully say with your dying breath
That you're ready to meet the Angel of Death
When you'll be laid beneath the cold clay
The Angel of Death will come from the sky
And claim up your soul when the time comes to die
When the Angel of Death comes down after you
Can you smile and say that you have been true
Can you truthfully say with your dying breath
That you're ready to meet the Angel of Death
When the lights all grow dim and the dark shadows creep
And then your lived ones are gathered to weep
Can you face them and say with your dying breath
That you're ready to meet the Angel of Death
When the Angel of Death comes down after you
Can you smile and say that you have been true
Can you truthfully say with your dying breath
That you're ready to meet the Angel of Death
