--Will The Angels Play Their Harps For Me?--
My late Father sang a slightly different version.

Verse I was passing by a churchyard in the city
one    when I saw a beggar old and grey
       with his arms outstretched he asked the folks for pity
       and it made me sad to hear him say
      -----------------------------------------------------------
       ch.
       -----
       Oh I wonder yes I wonder
       will the angels way up yonder
       will the angels play their harps for me

       For my heart is growing dreary
       and my feet are growing wearie
       will the angels play their harps for me.

       Oh a million miles I,ve travelled
       and a million sights I,ve seen
       and I,m ready for the glory soon to be

       Oh I wonder yes I wonder
       will the angels way up yonder
       will the angels play their harps for me.
      ------------------------------------------------------
verse   Will I ride up to the pearly gates in glory
2
       in a chariot of shining gold
       will I see the folks that went up there before me
       when I,m safetly gathered in the fold.
      --------------------------------------------------------
       repeat full chorus
    ----------------------------


         

                              when I saw a beggar old and grey
       with his arms outstretched he asked the folks for pity
       and it made me sad to hear him say.
      ---------------------------------------------------------------

             his arms outstretched he asked the folks for pity
