Carried by the Angels ADESTE FIDELES—John Francis Wade, Cantus Diversi, 1751 Carried by the Angels 1 Sitting by the gateway of a palace fair, Once a child of God was left to die; By the world neglected, wealth would nothing share; See the change awaiting there on high. Chorus Carried by the angels to the land of rest, Music sweetly sounding thro’ the skies; Welcomed by the Saviour to the heav’nly feast, Gathered with the loved in Paradise. 2 What shall be the ending of this life of care?
