Anyone have the lyrics to "Dancing with the Angels", made popular by the Newgrass Revival?

Thanks.

Replying myself to bring it back to the top. Short of having the lyrics, does anyone know where else I might find them?

Thanks in advance.

Terry,

The words can be found inside the dust jacket "Barren County" by the New Grass Revival (Sam Bush, Curtis Birch, John Cowan, Courtney Johnson) on Flying Fish (FF-083) 1979. They can also be found right below:

DANCING WITH THE ANGELS by Peter Rowan

There's a pathway of darkness
There's a pathway of light
And they meet at the old cross roads
The angels are callin' if your spirit will hearken
All is forgiven, lay down your wear load.

CH: You'll be dancin', dancin',
Dancin' with the angels
Just like old Daniel in the lion's den
The door will be open
And the feast spread out before you
Dancin' with the angels
While the lions roar.

Old Satan's dark powers
Are hungry for confusion
Unsatisfied ever greedy for more
If you look to your heart at the spirit there a bloomin'
If it's bright and shining, sin can harm you no more.

CH

Kind angels of mercy
Are waiting there to greet you
Standing on the shore of everlasting light
They sing "Come and join us across the shining water
Our lanterns of love will guide us through the night.

CH

Get busy and don't let the tempo lag!
