In the presence of the angels
there’s rejoicing when is heard
that a sinner has repented
at the hearing of God’s Word.
Who rejoices? Who is present
where the angels chant their praise?
Could be father, likely mother,
who on earth have closed their days.
Yes, you went the wrong direction,
which your mother said not to;
“It’s my life!” Oh, how it hurt her.
Brazenly, your plans went through.
Now she’s gone—has been promoted,
ne’er a protest we can raise.
She will shout glad hallelujahs
as her son or daughter prays!
