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've 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 dark shadows creep

And all your loved 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've been true

Can you truthfully say

With your dying breath

That you're ready to meet

The Angel of Death

Are you ready to meet

The Angel of Death
