Three angels stood in front of me bed
How poor a man can be
Heaven will remember and repay"
A vision beyond my dreams, called me by name
One day I saw a man
Heaven will remember and repay"
"I can never return what you've done
The first one she said to me, don't be afraid
Still I hear his last few words
I was dying and I'd soon be dead
How poor a man can be
I gave him hospitality a room, a bed and lots of food to eat
Fifty years had gone since I saw him
Still I hear his last few words
I knew I was born again, an angel to be
The second had eyes of gold, she gave me my wings
To me
"I can never return what you've done
I gave him hospitality a room, a bed and lots of food to eat
I joined with my destiny, eternally
The third gave all wisdom, and angel could give
So in devotion I spread my wings, to heaven I had came
Begging for a penny to survive
Dressed in rags, with a staff in his hand
I will give you immortality, and grace for your soul
Begging for a penny to survive
