Salvation Lassie Of Mine 1919

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 28 Feb 2003

They say it's in Heaven
that all Angels dwell,
but I've come to learn
they're on earth just as well;
and how would I know that
the like could be so,
if I hadn't found one
down here below:

A sweet little Angel
that went o'er the sea,
with the emblem of God in her hand,
a wonderful Angel
who brought them to me,
the sweet of a war furrowed land.
The crown on her head
was a ribbon of red,
a symbol of all that's divine,
tho' she called each a brother,
she's more like a mother,
Salvation lassie of mine.

A sweet little Angel
that went o'er the sea,
with the emblem of God in her hand,
a wonderful Angel
who brought them to me,
the sweet of a war furrowed land.
The crown on her head
was a ribbon of red,
a symbol of all that's divine,
tho' she called each a brother,
she's more like a mother,
Salvation lassie of mine.

Perhaps in the future
I'll meet her again,
in that world where no one
knows sorrow or pain;
and when that time comes
and the last word is said,
then place on my bosom,
her band of red:

A sweet little Angel
that went o'er the sea,
with the emblem of God in her hand,
a wonderful Angel
who brought them to me,
the sweet of a war furrowed land.
The crown on her head
was a ribbon of red,
a symbol of all that's divine,
tho' she called each a brother,
she's more like a mother,
Salvation lassie of mine.

a symbol of all that's divine,
tho' she called each a brother,
