To Abraham's friendly door three angels came.
The patriarch offered water for their feet;
With joy he offered bread, and rest most sweet.
Oh, how their presence set his heart aflame!
For they had come God's power to proclaim;
To promise blessings, every need to meet.
And so he listened, till his faith, complete,
Was able to behold, reach out, and claim.
That we God's goodness too may claim and share,
Let us arise today and pitch our tents
Away from Sodom. Then will angels fare
To visit our abode, withdrawn from sense.
When thoughts, uplifted, gather home to Mind,
What ministering angels do they find!
