Lyrics:

My poor heart was heavy
My poor heart was stone
Then I heard them - they were angels
And they were singing: 'you're not alone.'
'There is a peace
You've never known.'

I could hear trumpets
I could hear them blow
Then the angels summoned chariots
The angels told them
'swing, swing low'
The angels told them
'swing, swing low'

Sweet gospel music
Carry this boy, away from danger
Sweet gospel music
Carry this boy, towards the light
Sweet gospel music
Carry this boy, away from danger
Sweet gospel music
Carry him home tonight

If your heart is heavy
If your heart is stone
May you hear them - they are angels
They may be singing about a throne
About a peace, in the never-known

Sweet gospel music
Carry this boy, away from danger
Sweet gospel music
Carry this boy, towards the light
Sweet gospel music
Carry this boy, away from danger
Sweet gospel music
Carry him home tonight

Sweet gospel music
Carry this boy, away from danger
Sweet gospel music
Carry this boy, towards the light
Sweet gospel music
Carry this boy, away from danger
Sweet gospel music
Carry him home tonight
